Editor's Note

What happens when you find something wonderful — and someone else wants a piece of it? In The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!, Mo Willems turns a very small discovery into a wonderfully funny debate about sharing. Pigeon is delighted with his hot dog and fully intends to enjoy it, until a curious little duckling begins asking questions. The simple exchange between the two characters becomes increasingly clever and entertaining, capturing a situation young children know very well: deciding what to do when something you want for yourself suddenly has to be shared. With expressive illustrations, wonderfully timed dialogue and plenty of personality, it is the kind of story children will want to hear again and again.

Why We Selected This Book

Because a story about a hot dog can also be a surprisingly clever story about sharing, patience and persuasion. We selected The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! because Mo Willems explores an everyday childhood dilemma without turning it into a lesson. Instead, humour and conversation allow children to recognise the problem for themselves. It is playful, intelligent and particularly enjoyable when read aloud — exactly the kind of picture book that creates conversation between children and adults long after the final page.

Who Will Enjoy This Book

Young readers who enjoy funny stories, expressive characters and playful dialogue.
Children learning about sharing, compromise and navigating the very strong feeling of wanting something all to themselves.
Families looking for an interactive read-aloud story that invites children to predict, respond and laugh along with the characters.
Fans of Mo Willems, Pigeon and the wider Pigeon series.
