Join Pigeon and his pal Duckling for story time fun at home!

Step 1: Read

Click on the book cover and listen to The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? on Hoopla. Why did Duckling give Pigeon his cookie? Why do you think Duckling was able to get a cookie simply by asking? What do you think Pigeon could have done to get a cookie of his own? Why is it so important to use good manners?

Step 2: Watch

Watch the video Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! on Hoopla.

Step 3: Sing

How can we not sing “Wheels on the Bus” after watching the Pigeon try to drive the bus?!

Step 4: Make a craft
Follow these tutorials to make Pigeon-themed crafts at home. Make Pigeon & Duckling, a cookie, or a hot dog using materials like paper plates and recycled CDs. These are great props to use to act out the stories yourselves.

You can also learn to draw Pigeon from the author, Mo Willems! Check out Lunch Doodles with Mo to learn how.
