This book is about a pigeon who flys and finds a hot dog. There are big words and alot of pictures in the book. A curious bird has never had a hot dog before and continues to ask the pigeon questions about it like what it tastes like or does it taste like chicken? The pigeon has an idea to give the little curious bird the whole hot dog that he found since he was getting so annoyed by the questions. The curious bird enjoys the hot dog and says that it needs mustard, which means he has most likely had a hot dog in the past. ( )

Another hit from Mo Willems! In this story, the pigeon finds a hot dog, but a little duck comes along and tries to ruin his plan to eat it.

This represents a modern fantasy book because pigeons and ducks can't really talk. They have a believable interactions which makes the story somewhat true to life. It is rated a 4 star because the setting does not move forward smoothly and the story is not completely engaging. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0786818697, Hardcover)

Sesame Street veteran and Emmy Award-winner Mo Willems returns with a fast, funny follow-up to Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!--only this time, the short-tempered pigeon faces his perfect foil in a "special guest star" duckling. In the previous Pigeon book, author and illustrator Willems expertly distilled the escalating emotions of preschoolers all too anxious to get their way. The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog--also a simple and sparsely illustrated story--explores the flip side of that coin, exposing the poker-face persuasive powers of young negotiators. The pigeon just wants to greedily eat the hot dog that he's found: "Oooooh! A hot dog! Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!" Then along comes the duckling, "scooty scoot scoot!" with his insistent questions about hot dogs: "What do they taste like?...Would you say that it tastes like chicken?...Hey, I'm a curious bird." At first, the pigeon entertains the duckling, "Each morsel is a joy! A celebration in a bun!", but then he soon suspects the little bird might have designs on his delicious dog. In the end, of course, the clever duckling gets his way--and half of the hot dog: "You know, you're pretty smart for a duckling." (Ages Baby to Preschool) --Paul Hughes
