Amazon.com Review
Sesame Street veteran and Emmy Award-winner Mo Willems returns with a fast, funny follow-up to Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!--only this time, the short-tempered pigeon faces his perfect foil in a "special guest star" duckling. In the previous Pigeon book, author and illustrator Willems expertly distilled the escalating emotions of preschoolers all too anxious to get their way. The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog--also a simple and sparsely illustrated story--explores the flip side of that coin, exposing the poker-face persuasive powers of young negotiators. The pigeon just wants to greedily eat the hot dog that he's found: "Oooooh! A hot dog! Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!" Then along comes the duckling, "scooty scoot scoot!" with his insistent questions about hot dogs: "What do they taste like?...Would you say that it tastes like chicken?...Hey, I'm a curious bird." At first, the pigeon entertains the duckling, "Each morsel is a joy! A celebration in a bun!", but then he soon suspects the little bird might have designs on his delicious dog. In the end, of course, the clever duckling gets his way--and half of the hot dog: "You know, you're pretty smart for a duckling." (Ages Baby to Preschool) --Paul Hughes
Product Description
When Pigeon finds a delicious hot dog, he can hardly wait to shove the entire thing in his beak. But . . . then a very sly and hungry duckling enters the scene and wants a bite. Who will be the more clever bird? In this hilarious follow-up to the acclaimed Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! Mo Willems has created another avian adventure that encourages children to share even their most prized processed foods.

Great bonding book November 9, 2009
Howard L. Lawrence
I read this series with my son over and over and over....and they are still funny to both of us.
 not as good as the stay up late one November 5, 2009
Mary Elizabeth Kraft (atlanta, ga)
good series, awesome illustrations, just not quite as solid as the other one we have, the "don't let the pigeon stay up late" book, which our son LOOOOVES.
but maybe hell like it a little more as he gets older. ?
Our favorite of the "Pigeon" books November 3, 2009

This one makes my four-year-old laugh out loud. I love that. The exasperated pigeon, the wiley little duck - it's all so fun! The artwork is of course perfect for this brief story. I actually enjoy this one more than Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus. That is a good story as well, but it doesn't make my four-year-old laugh like this one does. Something about a hot dog eating pigeon just tickles him. And speaking of tickling... if you like this one, you'll probably also like Don't Tickle the Duck by Ethan Long.

I wanted to return this item since I paid 11.99 for it and it is a paperback boot which retails for 4.99. I thought I was getting a hardcover.
I heard no response from the sellers, and have closed my Amazon account.
