We have been busy working on an author study on Mo Willems {he's famous for the pigeon books}. My little firsties fell in love with his books after we read Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! This one book led my little readers asking for more Mo Willems books and how could I deny them? So...we read every Mo Willems book from the school's library and read them again and again and again. We compared characters and author's purpose among the books. After reading Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! , we read Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, and The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog.
I came across this helpful drawing tool from an old issue of Time for Kids magazine {glad I saved it!} {love} {love} So, then my kiddos got busy writing a new version of Don't the Pigeon... Mo Willems has an offical website with some super duper games and activities, visit the Mo Willems site. {click on the image to make pigeons out of cardboard tubes/rolls} Oh, one more pigeon art goodie...pigeon hats...love them!!
