About This Book
The Pigeon really needs a bath! Except, the Pigeon's not so sure about that. Besides, he took a bath last month! Maybe. It's going to take some serious convincing to try and get the Pigeon to take the plunge. A Mo Willems' fan favorite condensed in a bath book format.
Our Review
This charming bath book tackles the universal childhood struggle of bath time through the hilarious resistance of its feathered protagonist. The Pigeon's laundry list of excuses—from claiming he's already clean to outright bargaining—will resonate deeply with any child who has ever protested getting into the tub. Willems' signature expressive illustrations and bold, simple text make the story highly accessible for emerging readers. The durable, waterproof format is perfectly designed for sudsy, splashy read-aloud sessions.
What makes this book truly shine is how it validates a child's feelings while gently guiding them toward the inevitable conclusion. The Pigeon’s dramatic, over-the-top reluctance provides a safe, humorous mirror for a child's own bath-time anxieties, making the final plunge feel like a shared victory. Parents seeking a tool to ease the evening routine will find a powerful ally in this relatable story, transforming a potential power struggle into a moment of connection and laughter. It’s a masterclass in turning a daily challenge into pure, joyful fun.
