Pigeon is an unflinching and hilarious look at a child's potential for mischief. In a plain palette, with childishly elemental line drawings, Willems has captured the essence of unreasonableness in the very young.

When Pigeon finds a delicious hot dog, he can hardly wait to shove the entire thing into his beak. But then ... a very sly and hungry duckling enters the scene and wants a bite. Who will be the more clever bird?

After Trixie and daddy leave the laundromat, something very important turns up missing.

Once upon a time, there were three hungry Dinosaurs: Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur . . . and a Dinosaur who happened to be visiting from Norway. One day--for no particular reason--they decided to tidy up their house, make the beds, and prepare pudding of varying temperatures. And then--for no particular reason--they decided to go . . . someplace else. They were definitely not setting a trap for some succulent, unsupervised little girl. Definitely...

When Piggie plays her new trumpet for Gerald, the elephant decides he must be honest in his response.

While traveling with her family to Holland to visit her grandparents, Trixie once again loses her beloved Knuffle Bunny.

The pigeon must go to school, but frets about math, learning the alphabet, heavy backpacks, and what the teacher and other birds will think of him.

"Yellow Bird has found a button and wants to share it with Red Bird and Blue Bird. This is a red button on a brown base. It does not do anything when you press it. But when Red Bird and Blue Bird give it try, they are delighted to find that the button does not do nothing, and that is something!"--

A series of events, some seemingly very insignificant, lead to a young girl attending a life-changing concert.
