ReviewsReaders of All Ages Won't Be Able to Resist Miming the Sly Conversation in this Satisfying Sequel., Unforgettably introduced in Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! Willems's id-with-wings reveals that he's wanted a puppy "forever.... At least since last Tuesday" and swears he's ready to assume the responsibility of pet ownership ("I promise I'll water it once a month"). But he soon discovers that reality, well, it doesn't bite, exactly, but it has daunting teeth-and slobbers. While Pigeon is still a marvel of visual expression, Willems this time out has blunted his character's repertoire of persuasive tactics-and with the pleading dialed down, there's not much else to enjoy. There aren't enough examples of Pigeon's quick-thinking tactical maneuvers or the comic punch that comes from the cumulative onslaught. The core thrill of this series has always been offering kids the chance to experience pleading from the parental point of view-and exercise the awesome power to say no. This time, the response may simply be, "Whatever."-- PW, Readers will easily recognize themselves in the pigeon, even as they will delight in sending him to bed., Like Walt Disney and Charles Schulz before him, Willems understands the primal power and allure of the circle . . . . The Pigeon . . . can stand toe-to-ideographic-toe with Mickey Mouse and Charlie Brown., Willems's deceptively simple cartoon drawings convincingly portray his protagonist's emotional dilemma.
