The pigeon wants a puppy—he really, really, really does! But is it a good idea? He promises to take good care of it—to play tennis with it, to water it at least once a month. But is he ready for the responsibility? It’s up to readers to decide if they should make Pigeon’s dreams come true.

About this Series

There are certain things this pigeon wants. Like a hot dog. And a puppy. And to drive the bus. He's got some really persuasive arguments, and he's not afraid to ask (or plead, or moan, or beg) the reader to let him have his way. With simple line drawings and lots of expressive dialogue, bestselling author Mo Willems keeps kids laughing and cheering for more!
