About this Story

“Funny, Cute, Good Habits”

The Pigeon Needs A Bath book cover showing the dirty pigeon

I just picked up The Pigeon Needs a Bath! and honestly, it’s pretty good. 🐦 My kid loves Mo Willems books, and this one doesn’t disappoint. The pigeon is being his usual stubborn self - he took a bath like a month ago, so why does he need another one?

The whole thing is about him trying to avoid bath time, which feels pretty relatable if you’ve got kids. Fans of the pigeon character and nighttime stallers of any kind will relate to his resistance and delaying tactics, according to Common Sense Media.

The artwork is great as always with Willems, and the story actually teaches something useful without being preachy. The book was an ALA Notable Children’s Book for 2015, so it’s got some recognition too. Worth grabbing if your little ones are in that “I don’t wanna” phase! 😅
