MO WILLEMS Pigeon Story Time

It must be telling that I've done this story time for 5 years but never blogged about it:  Mo just comes so naturally into the hearts of children that we improvise with whichever books are in stock.

Welcome song

4-finger rules of the library


English:  Pigeon
Spanish:  Paloma
Sign Language:  Make a beak and open/close twice.  (This is a general sign for bird, but with 5-year-olds it's just right.)


Game:  Duck, Duck PIGEON!  (Almost Exactly Like Duck, Duck, Goose!) 

As of Sept. 2018, the Pigeon Presents website has been reworked: so many of the fun games have been taken down but Elephant and Piggie DANCE PARTY still exists and the main site.


We also LOVE the Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late video DVD disc because it's awesome and Cher does one of the voices!!!!  Buy it here.

And this funny SONG: 

The Pigeon on the Bus

To the tune of “The Wheels on the Bus”

The pigeon on the bus asks, “Can I drive?”

“Can I drive, can I drive?”

The pigeon on the bus asks, “Can I drive?”

All through the town.

The children on the bus say, “No! No! No!”

“No! No! No!”   “No! No! No!”

The children on the bus say, “No! No! No!”

All through the town.
