ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- The irascible Pigeon is back! He's filthy but he has a host of reasons why he shouldn't take a bath: it's considered impolite in some circles, 'clean' and 'dirty' are just words, he's pretty sure he had one last month… Of course, once he bad-temperedly gets into the bath, he changes his mind! Willem's trademark drawings are deceptively simple, but convey a great deal of attitude. Fun for the pre-schoolers who love Pigeon's naughty antics, and just as much fun for the adult who recognises toddler behaviour! Lindy

-----

The pigeon is BACK! And he STINKS! No, really, he actually smells very bad... Smell? What smell? I don't smell. YOU smell. The Pigeon needs a bath! Except, well, the Pigeon's really not so sure about that... Besides, he took a bath last month! Maybe. It looks like it's going to take some serious convincing to get the Pigeon to take the plunge! This is a laugh-out-loud, read-out-even-louder brand new pigeon book from the New York Times best-selling picture book master - Mo Willems. Mo's Pigeon encompasses all the melodrama that most 4 years olds muster on a daily occasion including...trying to avoid bathtime! The New York Times Book Review called Mo  the biggest new talent to emerge thus far in the 00's.
