review 1: It is cute, but I don't think most kids get the whole silent film/drama aspect. You really need a tinny piano plunking out dramatic music for it to be truly appreciated. Also, it doesn't send a great message. It isn't 'strangers are bad' its more 'do whatever you want and it will...

review 1: While this one wasn't your typical silly, surprising ending, I was still surprised! The book very calmly deals with the issue of trying to be honest to a friend when you have a low opinion of something they are doing. It's a hard skill, and one that it's great to have modeled f...

review 1: Well, this is a Mo Willems book and it is good. If this your first Mo Willems book, it is great. This is several pigeon books for me, and they are all good, they are all smile-inducing, and kids especially don't seem to be sick of them, so maybe I should rate this higher, but I'l...

review 1: Seriously, does he really need the money? How very sad a successful children's book author publishes a book clearly for adults and hopes to collect on his name. Perhaps using a pen name would have avoided the bad publicity he will get when children take this book out and then r...

review 1: I really enjoyed the simplicity of this book. The repetitive nature of it is helpful for new readers to learn words. It is also helpful in learning animal names. While reading this book to the boys I babysit, after a page or two they are able to chime in and read along since the...
