Awesome First Day of School Book

I'm a first grade teacher and Mo Willems books are LOVED by my classes. This book got here today (damaged cover with splotches, but Amazon CS took care of it), and I LOVE IT! It will be the book I read the first day of school to my 1st graders to help break the ice, but also to develop an interest in Pigeon books that we have in our classroom library. Another Pigeon book series winner.

Another Winner from Mo Willems!

I don't know how Mo Willems does it but The Pigeon Has to Go to School is just as fantastic as the rest of the series! In true Pigeon form we find him fighting this horrible injustice with every fiber of his being taking the reader along on his emotional journey. This story addresses many of the fears and anxieties that little ones feel as they get ready to go to school for the first time in a fun and silly way. This is a perfect book for back to school and will have kids laughing and giggling as they face their fears with Pigeon.

Fun book that made me laugh

My 7-year-old granddaughter just got through reading this book. It did make her laugh. She thinks it is a good book for children 3years and older--probably best for a four-year-old. She thought it addressed the things children would be worried about just as they were to begin school. She thought the illustrations were funny. It is an easy book for a beginning reader. She loves all the pigeon books.

Great book; bad processing at Amazon

The book is another fantastic addition to the collection for any Mo Willems fan, particularly a youngster who is getting ready to start school. I am an elementary school librarian, and am looking forward to starting off the year with this for my prekindergarten and kindergarten students. It humorously tackles some of those fears children have about school. My only complaint is actually about Amazon. The cover of the book was damaged. It's minor, the bottom of the book looks like it got hit on the corner of something and there is a small scratch above Pigeon's head. No biggie, but still disappointing.

The Pigeon Goes to School ❤️

This book is absolutely wonderful— just like all other pigeon books. My daughter has speech delay and LOVES these books. We laugh so much with the pigeon. Thanks for a great addition, Mo!

LOVE Mo Willems

I saw this book while browsing Amazon a few months ago. I pre-ordered it back in May and it arrived the day after it was released nation wide. My first graders love Mo Willems books and they will definitely love The Pigeon HAS to Go to School! It has a little reference back to the original Pigeon book, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus. Super cute book and can't wait to read it to my students on the first day of school!

Full of laughter!

Mo Willems is fantastic!! We love his pigeon books and this one doesn’t disappoint! My 3 and 7 year old boys cracked up along with me while reading it. I will definitely be reading this on the first day of school in my classroom this fall!

Pigeon books are fantastic.

Pigeon books are the best books for kids! Started buying for my granddaughter when she was small. She would run to sit on Pap's lap so he would read them! She has them all but this one, and she will get it when we see her-- she just turned 19! Hoping she will read them to her children one day!

Great book on the hesitations of going to school!

My son loves these types of books where the characters are talking/INTERACTING WITH THE READER. This book is an easy read and kids think it's funny! The hardback book is about 9"x9" which is a decent size for kids, with big lettering as well! It's about a pigeon that doesn't want to go to school because he already knows everything, he starts talking about all the "what if/why/what"(s) of school, he has a positive thought about school, and then he CAN'T WAIT to go to school and ride the bus!

Adorable, funny book for children experiencing anxiety about school

I purchased this book amongst 20 others and my 7 year old son loves it the MOST. We read it through the first two months of school and we just read it yesterday evening. This is his go-to book when we read before bedtime. He returned to school after e-learning since March 2020 when the schools closed to flatten the Covid-19 curve. He returned to brick and mortar at a brand new school with no welcome committee, no activity from PTA to connect with others and we could not walk him to his class or pass the entrance gate. The open house was a zoom meeting. So his anxiety at a new school was pretty rough. The pigeon is funny and sometimes spastic. It's cute! This book is adorable and humorous and isn't emotionally heavy for the parent or child. It is worth the money and I recommend it.

Funny book great for kindergarten or pre-k

My sons kindergarten teacher read this to his kindergarten class (during remote classes) and my son absolutely loves it. He laughs so hard when we’re reading it! It’s a very cute book and reminds children to see all the positive things about school instead of focusing on the unknown. (The book teaches what the unknown things are as well) my son does not have an issue with reading he book either, other then containing his laughter. I would definitely recommend

QC Please

I am sure this is a great book. It would be nice if some quality control was done before this was shipped out. The entire entire interior of the book is upside down.

A fun, and funny, part of a Learn to Read program

Part of Amazon’s Kids Prime Book Box. My grandson enjoyed it very much. Now that he is a more mature 6 year old who can read “really good”, he has given it to his brand new 4-month old brother. He really does read it to his brother, who laughs and giggles and “talks” to his big brother while being read to. Damon, the mature 6-year old, gives credit to this book for helping him learn to read.

Sorry I bought it

Whiney complaining throughout the book, not one positive uplifting word. Not even a salvaging moral at the end of the book.

Book is wonderful

The contents of the book is classic "Pigeon" and I love it, but the physical condition of the book was less than expected. The Ink was smudged, there were scarred imprints on the cover, and a scratch.

Did Not Meet Expectations

The Pigeon Has to Go to School did not meet expectations and it was not funny as previous books. I just cant believe how they screw it up. It should be simple and straightforward to write a book on school topic and make kids laugh. It just does not work as previous books. Not sure if it can help making your kids to like school as it made them to like taking a bath or sharing food.

Fun and pleasurable to read to a child

My son loves the Pigeon collection. He especially likes when the pigeon is adamant about not going to school. Very realistic. I liked that the pigeon reasoned for himself on why it’s important to do so. And the ending leads to another title to read from the collection.

Returning.

I’m not sure why this book gets such great reviews. We were not at all impressed. Will be returning.

Caution: not for a child who has no reservations about school

My son loves Mo Williems's books. He is starting preschool and we have done a lot to prepare him for his first day. Overall, he was pretty excited. This book, however, introduced a lot of doubts and questions that he never had about school. The main issue with this book is that the doubts and fears about school were never fully addressed at the end of the story. The take away (for a child) is that despite the concerns, the pigeon is excited to go to school because he gets to ride a school bus. My preschooler will not be riding a school bus so he cannot relate. Instead, he now has concerns about all the different things that the pigeon has brought up. As a parent, I made the mistake of not reading the book ahead of time and just assumed that it was another appropriate book based on the author and his other stories.

Really good emotions visuals

It's hard to go wrong with the pigeon, and this one is right up there with the pigeon needs a bath for me (our favorite)! It does a better job of showing and explaining his emotions than I felt like the feelings board book did, does a great bus callback, has very funny gags and makes a good argument for going to school. I'm hopeful this won't be the last pigeon in school book!

Great way to lead a discussion on feeling.

Another great book. My first graders loved hearing me read this to them. We talked about how we all feel scared sometimes when we face the unknown. Then we did a drawing project with pigeon as the subject. The students keep asking me to read it over and over again.

Would not buy it again

The book is good, arrives on time. But in my opinion got my son scared about school, my mistake was read it for first time to him instead of checking the content first.

For my Preschooler

We bought this for our 3 year old before he began preschool. He loves it. What a fun book. Some things are not applicable to him yet like riding the bus but he doesn't seem to mind or notice. So cute, would definitely recommend!

My two boys love this pigeon

My boys, ages 8 and 5, love the Mo Willems books and this one is no exception! It’s cute and wonderfully illustrated. My boys love the pigeon and his attitude. I was excited to get this because it’s almost back to school time for both boys. It’s being read every night! My 8 year old almost has it memorized and the 5 year old is working on it. I love when they fall in love with a book like this!!

Yet Another Modern Kids’ Classic

Like all the installments in Mr. Willum’s Pigeon series, this is an hysterical, compulsively interactive book you’ll love reading with your kids as much as they will. After they’ve grown up, you’ll probably still want to fight with them over who gets to keep them when they move out! So, maybe plan on getting two copies of each.

Damaged cover

Cute story and was so excited to receive it before school starts- but the ink must’ve smeared and makes the cover look used. Disappointed since I’ll be using this for years to come.

My son still won't go to school without a fight.

How about that? If your kid's really into pigeons, 5 stars. If they hate school, this is no panacea.

The Pigeon does it again

Pigeon books are a fave in our house. Pigeon’s relatability to kids and parents alike is remarkable. The Pigeon Has To Go To School is highly recommended, along with the rest of Mo Willems’ dramatic works.

We love the pigeon!

We love the cheeky pigeon! My son first found the pigeon on you tube, I then realized it is a book series. This was our first out of the 2 pigeon books we have and we loved it, we bought it when my son started Kindergarten.

Great book, but cover was all scuffed up

When the book got here, the first thing I did was read it. The book is amazing and I can't wait to read it with my littles! However, the front of the book was all scuffed up. Since this is a Christmas present, I was very disappointed that the book doesn't look brand new like I bought it.

Only complaint is

My only complaint is it came out a year too late. I have officially retired so I no longer have a kindergarten class to read it to. I LOVE this book. My students would also have loved it. It is a must. Just make sure you read the bus book before this one.

Lovely book for toddlers

My 4 year old had taken to reading Mo Willem's books and loves them. And this is one of his favorites. It also nicely taps into the excitement for kids going to school for the first time. It's a lovely book for kids to start their entry into the world of reading and hilarious to boot!

Unhappy with the item

Uninteresting to 4 year old.....drab colors...no story.....just not what i thought it would be.

We Laughed Out Loud!

My I read this book to my 2 sons (ages 3 and 4) and we all laughed out loud! Absolutely adorable and the reference to the original story "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!" was genius! 5 Stars!

Love it! (And so does my 6 year old!!)

Love these books. My 6 year old started reading them in school and when I noticed him reading along during homeschooling, and having fun doing so, I ended up getting him 3 different ones for his birthday. AND he was actually excited to open a book as a present! (Wow!!!) Great set of books. Love the stories and the format! And my 6 year old can almost read them all the way through without a huge struggle. Great beginning reader book.

My son enjoyed it

Good book - made my son laugh. Unfortunately, he said they already read this at school. Also, I don't think he will want to read it over and over due to the subject. Still, for the price, a good buy.

Grandson approved

My daughter said she loves on the their children's books

Another great story

Another great addition to the classic pigeon books, and yes The Pigeon has to go to school.

Grandchildren loved it

My grandchildren like these books and I didn't think they were so great until it came in and I brought it over to them. Not only were they able to read the words, but the emotion in the pictures had them reading them with enthusiasm. A great learning series. My granddaughters recently turned 5.

A must have for every preschooler or kindergartener!

My kids absolutely love Mo Willems books. This book makes school seem not so scary. You will crack up as the pigeon explains all his fears about going to school. I bought this copy as a gift for a friend.

Good story. Stained cover.

Perfect read out loud for my kindergarten class! I was disappointed though, the book came dirty and I bought new.

We are Pigeon's fan

I bought this book for the first day of school of my nephew and it was incredible, we are Pigeon lovers, Unfortunately my order was left outside of the mailbox during a rainy day and was a little bit wet, but it has a hard book cover and we were able to dry it

Piggy and Gerald always a hit

Piggy and Gerald books make me laugh, as well as the 4 yr. old I was reading it to. The stories and pictures are simple, but allows for predicting what will happen next. Children of all ages love these characters.

The latest Pigeon book is a hit!

My 6-year old loves these books and this one did not disappoint! After checking it out of the school library, we had to get her her own copy for her birthday. The Pigeon is so funny and this book always makes her laugh. Very cute.

Come on, it’s Pigeon!!...

...how can I give it anything other than 5 stars?! Mo Willems is a hands-down favorite in my library and I have no doubt this book will fly off, and stay off, the shelf! It’s absolutely hilarious and I can’t wait to share it with the primary students during the first week of school!

Love these books

My 5 year old loves the Pigeon books. This one is no different. He had it memorized after about 3 reads. I caught him “reading” it to his baby brother a few days ago.

4 year old loves it

My 4 year old really loves this book he laughs at the pigeon, however my 3 year old doesn’t care for it much maybe because he’s a tad bit younger. This is my 4 year olds favorite book

There’s a BUS! We love Pigeons 💙

Mo Willems is by far my favorite Author of children’s books- The Pigeon books and Piggie and Elephant books are great for socio-emotional learning and understanding. This book was no different! I LOVE THIS book! Will be reading to my three year old for the next week on school nights. He loves these books and this was is so wonderful!

Fun Book About First Day of School Worries

The kids loooooove reading this book!! Highly recommended esp for little ones that are just starting school. A tale of a pigeon who has woes about school, every worry touched upon including lunch, paint, school bus, etc. Fun read for toddlers and Kindergarteners alike including parents :)

Another Great Pigeon Story!!

The Pigeon is a favorite story book character of all the kids in our house. His adventures always make us laugh and this story is no exception. Our children were looking forward to this book’s arrival and we have read it most days since. It’s quickly become one of our favorite Mo Willems books.

Ready to school after the book

This Pigeon is one of My favorite characters and my daughter loves it since she was very young. This one is perfect for getting them ready to go to school for the first time.

My Favorite School Book

This books is great for early readers but is also Sooo Very Funny!! It's our favorite "school themed book" to read!! Children and parents will enjoy!!

my kid's favorite book

my kids LOVE this book. We got it from the library and they loved it so much that when they returned it, I decided to buy it. We read it every single night.

Great book for anxious pre schoolers

I got this book to read to my four year old because she is experiencing anxiety about school. She loves it and it’s a wonderful book to create discussion!

Have read every day since it arrived

My 4yo will be attending preschool full time at an elementary school and I thought this would start to prep her now, in late April. We have read this multiple times a day since this arrived 4days ago. She loves the pigeon! We will be ordering more of this series.

Very funny!

Typically I’m not a Mo Willems fan but my kindergarteners loved this book! It had a little meat to eat so it made it easier to ask questions during the reading. This is good to ease the first day nerves! They thought it was a hilarious book!

Updside down book. Very cute book

The story captures all the thoughts of my grade school son. But for some reason the copy i have is upside. It looks the cover was upside down when it was bound together.

3 yr old enjoys it!

Fun book that address some potential worries kids may have about going to school. We’ve been reading this to our 3 year old who will be starting full time pre-school in a few weeks. He gets a kick out of it!

Another great pigeon book

Adding to my son's collection, another excellent pigeon book about going to school. Highly recommended for toddlers to youngsters. Illustrations are always fun and entertaining. Great book to read before putting my son to bed.

Great books!

This is just the cutest book! My 3 year old granddaughter just loves them! The colors and pictures are beautiful and she loves the pigeon. I highly recommend them.

My grandson loves the book!

This is a favorite book about going to school for my grandson. He is starting school so I got several for him. I will be purchasing more pigeon books!

Love this book!

This is my five year old son’s favorite book right now! I bought it as a back to school gift, and we read it every night before bed. It’s cute, funny and keeps my son’s attention. I love it!

LOVE IT!`

I really like his books and my grandson is the pigeon incarnate and it is a funny way to show his actions from a distance esp. the rage page but the pigeon always calms down after thinking about it.

Worse than 1 star!

I have a toddler that has anxiety about day care…I can’t see how this book could help a child of any age. I got sucked in by the positive reviews..luckily I read it alone before we did it together.. because it’s not at all appropriate! Returning…won’t even consider donating it! 👎

perfect for learning to read

can’t rave enough about mo willems. he’s a genius author and illustrator. recommend for children who are learning to read. it will help them engage

Cute

Such a cute book. My 5 year old started not wanting to go to school, so I was looking for a book to read to him. He loved it!

Pigeon DOES NOT Want To Go To School

Great book to read to a youngling that may be hesitant about going to school. Highly recommend the Pigeon books and most of Mo Willems work!!

So cute.

This author is the best. I got this for my daughter because she start school in the fall and she loves the penguin. Highly recommend all of his books.

Great book for young children

It is a book that gets the kids excited! We suspend indoor voices while reading Mo Willems books because they kids have so much fun reading it. I highly recommend all of Mo Willems books for young readers and for the adults who like having a good time reading with kids.

Super cute my LO loves it

Very cute and funny! My 5yo loves this book I’m about to look for some more of the same type

Another stunner by Mo.

I love Mo Willems! I am a third grade teacher and I bought this fro myself and two other teacher friends for the beginning of school. My kids LOVED it! I can't wait to read this again with my kids and each year!

Fun story!

My children are grown but we still all enjoy a good Pigeon book. And this is a good one, but then again, aren’t they all!

Love it!!!!

Especially if you have children starting school for the first time. My princess enjoys it..

My five year old loves it

The book is very silly and funny and my 5 yr old could not stop laughing. Highly recommend!

Another Excellent Mo Willems Book!

Is your youngster starting school, or do you teach Kindergarten? This is a fantastic book for your library. All of the laughs that the pigeon books normally garner with a situation that many kids can relate to.

Great addition to the Pigeon series!

Loved this book! It appears to be intended for children getting school-ready but was still a great read for my son who just finished Kindergarten and my daughter who won’t start school til next year. We have the other books in the series and loved this as the newest addition to the Pigeon series.

We love the pigeon books so much!

We love all of the pigeon books. They never fail to disappoint. This one was so exception.

Great Books

Purchased this after her teacher read her one of the series during a zoom meeting. She just loves the books considering she is just learning to read.

Cutest, interactive book !

Mo Willems is a great author. I love how he wrote this book lol it’s the cutest thing and keeps your child’s attention because there are interactive parts. It keeps them engaged and entertained. My daughter loves this book. We read it 2-3 times at a time lol So well written. I bought this one just to see if I liked the author. I WILL be buying the rest of the books!

My nieces loved it!

I've long been a fan of Mo Willems' children's books, and with my youngest niece starting school this fall, I knew she had to have this newest one. She and her older sisters loved it - his books are among their favorites too. It has the same quirky humor as the other pigeon books and bolsters a child's confidence if they're nervous about school.

Great Book Series

Such wonderful and fun books. We love all the Pigeon books and probably now own them all. Great for young children. The author is amazing.

First day

Very cute book. Has some dents and marks on the cover page but other than that the perfect book!

Another Mo Willems hit!

I read this on the first day of kindergarten to my students and their parents. It was a wonderful and humorous way to "break the ice." I have read it countless times since by request!

Super fun book!

Mo Willems is a favorite of mine and this book does not disappoint. The quality of the book is great and it came packaged well. I'm excited to read it to my students when we go back to school.

Good Books for Kids

Our kids love all these books with the pigeon. They have good art, and if you get into the reading of them, they are very funny for kids with good lessons.

Love love Mo Willems

This is one of my daughter and my favorite authors so we were really excited when he released a new book! Super cute book keeping with the pigeons sense of humor in the others. My daughter loved it

So fun

A fun book for my son to read on his own. He loves Pigeon and it always brings him such joy to be able to read one of his favorite characters by himself.

Great book

Great pigeon book. A big hit with my five-year-old grandson. I bought it during his first month of kindergarten and if you read it to me a couple of dozen times.

Great book

This was purchased less expensive on Amazon than at the book fair at school and my grand daughter loves it it is worth the price and you get it sooner.

Children Enjoy this Story

A cute story that covers all the worries a little kid might be having about going to school.

Love this book

Bought this book as a gift for my grandson. It arrived in perfect condition

Great book for back to school

I got this to read to my classes and they loved it! Mo Willems is a beloved author but this title is not that well known. Definitely recommend for your library.

My son loves and owns all the pigeon books and this one does not disappoint! So funny in a typical mo willems fashion, color full and fun to read

The Pigeon is awesome, and argumentative, as usual.

Love Mo, love the Pigeon. Another great Pigeon book that I have fun reading to my personal children and the kids in my class, and they love listening to. Thanks, Mo!

Great New Pigeon Book

My daughter has loved all of the Pigeon books and this one was no exception! The pictures as well the unfolding of the story is always so funny. We love reading these books :)

Printed backwards

Book printed upside down

Cute book

An easy ready, a little humor and overall enjoyable for young children.

Great book for a little person riding the bus!

My 5 yr old started kindergarten this fall, rode a bus for the first time. Parker loves his book!

Great beginning of year book

I love reading this book and see the kids laugh too!

Stained Book

I absolutely love The Pigeon books but I was so disappointed when I opened the packaged and my book had blue stains on it!! I personally would order again but if you want a pristine book I would not recommend :(

Very good Author for children

Grandson loved it and found it amusing beings it’s school time. He loves the Pigeons Books.

My granddaughter loves this book

This was one of the books sent every few months to my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter. She loves getting her books, takes her time warming up to new ones, and really likes this one.

Great book

Purchased for my granddaughter. My students love this book.

We love pigeons

It’s cute. We read this for school. I got the app plus more book are on the way.

Another great pigeon book!

Mo Willems can’t go wrong and neither can this book! I’m giving it to my anxiety kid as he heads back to school and I got another one for his favorite teacher.

Great book!

Bought this for my 1st grader and she loved the story. She laughed and was very amused by the illustrations. Highly recommend!

A great pigeon book addition.

We love pigeon books, and he LOVES this one. So much fun in typical pigeon style.

Great book for kids

I bought this book for my autistic son who was starting kindergarten and we both loved it. It was funny and explained school really well at a level a lot of kids can understand.

Funny addition to our pigeon collection

Another great pigeon story. We recently added to our collection. My 5 year old just started kindergarten this year. She loves it.

Bad example

I’m not a fan of children’s books with whiny characters.

very nice book for my 1st grader

My daughter loves this book! It's so funny, and she reads it over and over!

Love it

Read this a few days before my son started first grade he read the whole thing himself it was funny and we both loved it

Get these books!

The pigeon books are SO much fun. My kids absolutely love all of them

Wonderful book.

My kids love all books by Mo Willems but Pigeon and Duckling especially. This book is a great book for back to school and for the emerging reader.

Love it and Giving it to a future school teacher!

I love this book! My son was saying “why do I have to go to school?” So, got it for him, but have it to my daughter, who is going to teach in Elementary school soon! The Illustrations are amazing!

Helped our guy go to school with no fear!

This book helped our little guy go to school! It's funny and cute and if you already know the other pigeon books, your child will love this one too!

It's Mo Willems. Nuff Said!

If you have a kid about to start to school or one who like mine, doesn't' really like school then this is the book for you. Perfect for early readers.

Cute book

Bought for my 8 year old. She loves it. Cute book

Child’s book on school

Great for a kid who does not like to go to school

Another fantastic story. Fun and funny 😄

Love the language and pace. As fun for me to read as it is for my grandson and his preschool class to enjoy. Thank you!

So funny

So funny... a little over the head for my 3 years old girl, but still really fun to read. I guess it is more appropriate for ages 4 or 5

great book series. my 6 ry old daughter loves

i ordered a few of these books for my 6 yr daughter . she loves them , thanks

Son loves it

My son loves the pigeon books, and this is one of the best.

Great read for kids!!

Such a cute story! Mo Willems never disappoints!

Great book for kids of any age.

Can’t go wrong with Mo Willems!

A little disappointed

I have to say I was a little disappointed with this book. The majority of the book was about a whining bratty chicken. I had hoped that the book would have a larger emphasis on how great school was especially since it is targeting kindergarteners.

Love it

I bought this book so my son can transition into school easily and I think I helped but will have to wait till school starts.

Back to school must have.

Hardcover for tons of reading. So fun for reluctant kids on their way back to school. We love the pigeon series.

Great!

Fabulous book! Great condition and came in a day early!

Pigeon does it again!

My first graders absolutely love this book. Scholastic also published a wonderful book blurb video to accompany this wonderful pigeon story!

Great story

Love this book. Mo wiles is fantastic

Hooray for more Pigeon!

My daughter has had the pigeon books since she was born 10 years ago. We love when new books come out and this one is just as fun as the others.

good quality book

this book is really nice, I like that is a hard copy.

Darling!

Great book by a brilliant artist! Mo Willems is charming, as are his books. And, I just love the matte cover and high quality of the paper. Makes a nice gift.

Questionable messages, but good overall

Good book for a kindergartener who's a little anxious/nervous about starting school, although after reading it several times, it did put some unsettling ideas in my son's head - obviously the opposite of my intent (what if the teacher doesnt like me? what if the other kids dont like me?). But the book and the pictures made him laugh, so despite the minor drawback, was a great buy overall!

Recommended by my child’s teacher

My preschooler and first grader both loved this book. Funny and silly and easy to read.

Another great one from Willems!

I bought this for my pre-k kids about to move on to kindergarten and they love it! It has a funny, sweet way of expressing the anxieties of moving up in school then ends with reassurance and a laugh. Highly recommend!

The pigeon HAS to read this book! it is great

If you love the pigeon - you know how awesome it is! and this books the same... If you dont know the pigeon.... You HAVE to get this book... both you and your kids will love it and these amazing books!

The newest Pigeon book & it’s great!

Another great Mo Willems book to add to my library and it’s all about the Pigeon—what could be better?!

Great fun!

Humorous books that make problem solving for kids fun!

If you like the Pigeon Books, this one is great!

Great beginning of the year book for Kindergarten. My kiddo's will love it. I laughed out loud when reading it. I would totally recommend!

Mo is a genius.

Mo never disappoints. Another instant classic. Pigeon has all the feelings kids and teachers have regarding the first day of school, but of course everything ends up great.
