Loading... The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? (Pigeon) (original 2012; edition 2012)by Mo Willems, Mo Willems (Illustrator)
 amy-picturebookaday | Apr 23, 2012 | 
The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? by Mo Willems is the newest Pigeon book. The Duckling, first introduced in The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog, is back, and he has a cookie with chips and nuts. Of course there's no way the Pigeon (who turned nine this year) wants the Duckling to either star in a book or have a delicious cookie. As you can imagine, the Pigeon does everything possible to steal the show and the cookie. It's a cute book that works well both as a read alone book for level one readers and as a group read. When reading it aloud, be prepared to over act and have fun. (  ) pussreboots | May 21, 2013 | Cute book about a duckling who receives a cookie because he asked for it politley. The pigeon can't figur out why he never gets what he asks for and the duckling simply tells him that he must be polite when he asks. (  ) DianaTurner | Apr 27, 2013 | This is a great book to use when teaching students how to use expression and identifying which punctuation is which and where to use it in a sentence. The characters are hilarious and the author does a great job at illustrating the characters so the reader can see what type of voice to use. The students in my mentor class absolutely loved this book. It is a really good tool to use interactively with a group, for example, on one of the pages we demonstrated exclamation and everyone yelled out the words. It was a blast. I was talking to the librarian in huntsville and apparently all of Mo's books are like that. Nothing but dialogue and expression. ( ) hipsterkidd | Apr 23, 2013 | Cute little story about how the "reader" gives the duck a cookie and the pigeon gets jealous and angry/upset with the duck. Turns out that the duck asked for the cookie to give to the pigeon. ( ) Kelseybelsey29 | Apr 22, 2013 | I was in a Target when this book caught my eye; I started reading and could not put it down. The first 4 pages showed such simple brilliance that I had no choice but to continue reading this amazing story. The pictures add so much feeling and emotion to the already powerful words found on the page. Thank you, Mo Willems, for sharing this great work with the world! ( ) summers1630 | Apr 19, 2013 | The Duckling asks for a cookie -- and gets one! Do you think the Pigeon is happy about that? The Pigeon is back (hooray!) and this time the drama centers on an adorable little duckling who gets a cookie just by asking--politely. Just by asking?! Politely reminds the duckling, but the Pigeon is already off on a hilarious rant about all the things he asks for--many of which readers of the earlier Pigeon books will remember--ending with the all-too-familiar refrain, “It’s not fair.” ( ) michelleleister | Apr 15, 2013 | Pigeon is in his usual hilarious form in this latest addition to the collection. When Duckling asks for a cookie-- and GETS IT-- Pigeon is appalled. He is flabbergasted. He is beside himself. But his tirade is cut short when Duckling announces that the reason he got the cookie is so that he could give it to Pigeon. For once, the self-absorbed bird is left speechless. As he goes off munching the delicious cookie (with nuts), Duckling gets the last laugh. While this isn't my personal favorite Pigeon book, it's classic Mo Willems with simple but compelling text, and illustrations that really get the characters' moods across beautifully. ( ) KimJD | Apr 8, 2013 | These books are hilarious and make for easy predicting for youngsters. I like to use them to teach students about writing dialogue too! This one is great because it also teaches the students a valuable lesson about being nice. (You get cookies!) ShelbiJL | Apr 7, 2013 | The pigeon AND cookies? How can that not be an awesome book?! ( ) wwrawson | Mar 31, 2013 | One of Mo Willems newer books. This time pigeon learns how to share and gets a lesson in kindness. Young readers love the Pigeon books. ( ) ashoemak | Feb 25, 2013 | (194) ( ) activelearning | Dec 9, 2012 | Hilarious Mo Willems style through and through. hidthemyd | Dec 3, 2012 | I think that the only thing that could have made this book better is if the Pigeon would have asked the Duck for the cookie rather than the Duck just giving it. Other than that it was an excellent book on manners and sharing and I liked it. ( ) YMcMillion | Nov 23, 2012 | My son and I love Mo Willems' books! They're simple and funny and have great messages! ( ) briannad84 | Nov 16, 2012 | The beloved Pigeon is back for more in this tale and is accompanied by his friend the Duckling. Come join these two on a quest to find out why Duckling got a cookie but Pigeon did not. This duo is sure to make any Willems’ fan laugh out loud with the shenanigans that occur in this book. World famous author, illustrator, and animator Willems is most widely known for his work in the Pigeon series. However, he is also the author and artist for countless other pieces of work and the recipient of the Caldecott Honor multiple times for these works. His lively and colorful pictures add quite a bit of character to these books and attract the attention from children (as well as parents and teachers!) everywhere. This tale of the Pigeon and Duckling is sure to be another treasured favorite! ( ) npodsiadlik | Oct 31, 2012 | Duckling gets a cookie and Pigeon becomes angry. In this story the two friends learn the importance of politeness and sharing. It's great how this book shows the point of view of both characters in how they feel about the situation. The author, Mo Willems, also uses great descriptive action words that students can use in their own writing for class. (  ) demmiee | Oct 8, 2012 | Excellente book, this book was recomended to me and I would reccommend it to someone else. ( ) ErinBayless | Oct 8, 2012 | Caldecott winner Mo Willems brings us to a world similar to his popular Elephant and Piggy series. The illustrations are simple, but cunningly done in clean crayon so that a full range of emotions are represented in the characters. Willems also very effectively uses white space which focuses the reader's attention on not just the characters but also on the large font words. The narrative is simple, Duckling has a cookie and Pigeon feels like he has been left out. What follows is a lesson in sharing. Humorous throughout, this is an excellent book for young children as they will identify with the popular characters and the situation. Highly recommended. ( ) jjpionke | Sep 13, 2012 | Mo Willems has done it again! This is a great story, it talks about manners, which is a great thing to teach kids. I enjoyed how the story referred to all of the stories that the pigeon has been in. I read it to my kindergarten class and they loved it. ( ) Sarahg3 | Sep 12, 2012 | All of my younger students LOVE the Pigeon books by Mo Willems (follow the pigeon on Twitter, it's adorable and hilarious!). This book is a great addition to the Pigeon series. I love it because it breaks the fourth wall and required some kind of interaction with your audience. ( ) benuathanasia | Sep 8, 2012 | Pigeon is back and he’s not happy. The duckling gets a cookie just because she asked (politely). The cookie even has nuts! Pigeon is simply outraged. He asks for things all the time, to drive a bus, to have a hot dog party, a French Fry Robot, a walrus, and he never gets what he wants! It’s just not fair that ducklings get everything, because Pigeons like cookies, too! Finally, he can’t stand it anymore, “Why did YOU get that cookie!?!” The innocent duckling replies, “So I could give it to you.” The illustrations are comprised of crayon-y characters against pale blue and lilac backgrounds. Although the characters are drawn with just a few lines, Willems is able to give them a wide range of expressions. For instance, take a look at Pigeon’s eye throughout the book and take note of just how many different emotions he can convey with those two simple circles. The text is presented in speech bubbles, using color and font size/shape to convey Pigeon’s emotions. Several of the pages are divided into quarters, sort of like comic book panels.
