الحمامة تجد شطيرة نقانق

Pigeon #3

by Mo Willems

عندما وجدت الحمامة شطيرة نقانق، لم تكد تتمالك نفسها من التهامها دفعة واحدة.
في الوقت نفسه ظهرت بطة جائعة ومحتالة مطالبة بنصيبها من الشطيرة.
ترى أي من هذين الطائرين سيكون الأذكى؟

In which the Pigeon find a hotdog and we meet the Duckling.

If the pigeon is the father of all treachery, the great deceiver and he who must not drive the bus, then the Duckling is perhaps his counterpart? It says please. It acts nice. It does not seem to overreact… yet there is more to this insidious Duckling than meets the eye. DO NOT TRUST THIS LIMICOLINE EQUIVOCATOR FRIENDS! IT TOO IS A DANGER TO US ALL!

Also, the book gets 3/5 stars. Not the best in the epic Pigeon saga, but amusing enough.

…

Why yes, I did write this review just to use the phrase limicoline equivocator… how did you know?

Fantastic book about sharing! Mo Williams (MW) does a great job of helping children (and some adults) learn that it is better to share. I think that too often we forget that it does not take that much to have a positive interaction with others. MW reminds us that if you just take the time to be nice things usually turn out so much better!

The pigeon shares a hot dog with the curious/devious duckling.
Another awesome humorous book for children with our favourite pigeon.

This hot dog is mine

Also known as "Miimii Miikaan Gizhood Nimosh" - Our Ojibwe language table did a full translation of the title and when we met with Mo, he granted us permission to publish it in exchange for teaching him to say,"Nd'Anishinaabemtaw dibishko Kchi-Mookamaan-Akiing biizhikii: (I speak Ojibwe like an American cow.).

Email mnoori@umich.edu if you't like the full text ; ) We also have "Gego Bigidnike Mibizowaad Kchidaabaan" the companion title.

As luck would have it, Mo Willems can sometimes be nice to his self-centred Pigeon character. There is an unclaimed hot dog for the taking and Pigeon wants it. He is prepared to dig in, but Duckling comes to ask about this treat. He has never had one, leaving Pigeon to extol the virtues of a hot dog. Duckling wonders just what it might taste like, leading Pigeon to crack and share his spoils. But, it does not stop there... Neo laughed as he had been wanting to read this book for a long time. I’m happy we got around to it, finally!

Whew! Just how many “Pigeon” books are out there? I must have read over a dozen “Pigeon” books written by Mo Willems already, but I am alright with that since I have enjoyed practically all of Mo Willems’ popular “Pigeon” book series. So, the most recent one I had read is called “The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!” which is just as funny and witty as the previous “Pigeon” books!

The book starts off with the Pigeon finding a hot dog on the ground and wanting to eat it. Just as the Pigeon was about to eat the hot dog, a small and cute duckling comes waddling by and starts asking the Pigeon all of these questions about how tasty the hot dog is and if he could have a piece of the hot dog.

Will the Pigeon share his hot dog with the Duckling?

Read this book to find out!

Oh man, I just keep on loving these “Pigeon” books by Mo Willems since they are so witty and cute to read through! This book is definitely no exception as I loved the way that Mo Willems wrote out the relationship between the Pigeon and the Duckling. I loved the fact that the Pigeon and the Duckling have different personalities as the Pigeon is always shown as being loud, bossy and a bit greedy while the Duckling is shown as being polite, innocent and intelligent and it was great seeing these two character clash with each other regarding the situation at hand. I also loved the Pigeon’s witty and hilarious dialogue as he tries to avoid giving his hot dog to the Duckling as I found myself chuckling at the Pigeon’s wild statements, while I found myself showing affection for the Duckling’s innocent nature. Mo Willems’ artwork is as always cute and hilarious to look at, especially of the images of the cute little duckling looking at the Pigeon with innocent curiosity, while the Pigeon constantly scowls at the Duckling for annoying him throughout the book.

Overall, “The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!” is a truly cute and hilarious book that “Pigeon” fans should definitely pick up! I would recommend this book to children ages four and up since this book is appropriate enough for younger children.

Debido a la creciente obsesión de mi hija con los libros de Mo Willems, decidi que la mejor opción para Easter seria regalarle este libro.

Sencillo, divertido, con un protagonista gruñón y un pato manipulador muy adorable. Les enseña a los niños lo fácil y positivo de compartir.



Muy recomendable, me gusto más que el primero de esta serie.

Pigeon is the lucky bird to find a lone hotdog. He is just about the gobble it up when a calm duckling distracts him from his purpose and persuades him to share.

My nephew and I really loved the art in this book. It is simple and the bubbles for the words adds a touch of whimsy. That duckling totally won out hearts and we were happy to see the birds share in the end. Sharing is totally the message and I think that it was fascinating that to the reader the duckling is presented as sly when in reality the duckling worked with the pigeon in a very smart interpersonal way. This book (and actually the series - we've read one other already) is about teaching the computer generation how to interact with others and gain the outcome they desire. Today sharing is sly!

The details are what make this story a joy. The way the ducklings eye is drawn to show emotion. The exaggerated manner of the pigeon. My nephew knew right off what was appropriate behavior and what wasn't right. And it shows it in a way that is fun and makes you root for both birds. I can see many re-reads in the purchase of this book as the child already knows what is going to happen and starts giggling in anticipation.

BOTTOM LINE: Etiquette for the modern child.

بنظر میاد این یادداشت خیلی درمورد این کتاب نباشه!

امروز به کتابفروشی آقای شکوری رفتم. دهکده بازی و اندیشه.
لحظه اولی که وارد کتابفروشی شدم، یه زنگ بانمک به صدا دراومد و روبه‌روم نوشته‌ای بود که می‌گفت: خوش اومدین!‌ صفا آوردین!
در همین لحظه لبخند زدم و وارد شدم. مدت‌های زیادی بود که اسمش رو شنیده بودم و قصد رفتن کرده بودم، اما چه کنم که تا امروز هنوز ما رو نطلبیده بود...
همه جا پر بود از کتاب‌های کودک. قفسه‌هایی متناسب با کتاب کودک. هزاران هزار کتاب. از نشرها و موضوع‌های مختلف. از در و دیوار درنا‌های کاغذی آویزون بود و صندوقی اونجا بود به نام صلح... که بچه‌ها درناهایی که درست کردن رو اونجا می‌انداختن. به یاد ساداکو و هزار درنای کاغذی و به یاد آرزوی صلح برای همه بچه‌های زمین.
میز و صندلی بود برای نشستن بچه‌ها و نقاشی کشیدن و کتاب خوندن. اینقدر کتاب‌های جذابی دیدم که چشمام برق می‌زد. یه عالمه از کتاب‌هایی که تو بچگی خونده بودم. کتابایی که مامانم وقتی خواهرم داشت به دنیا می‌اومد برام گرفته بود، دایره‌المعارف‌های جذاب، همه کتاب‌های کانون، همه کتاب‌های جدید و تصویری خیلی جذاب، واااااییییی... شبیه بهشت بود و دلم می‌خواست ساعت‌ها و روزها اونجا بمونم...
و اما در اون بین، این سری کبوتر بانمک و عزیزم رو دیدم و این جلدش رو نخونده بودم. اینو همونجا خوندم و کلی باهاش خندیدم و حال کردم و بعد هم آخرین ته مانده‌های حسابم در روز ۳۰اُم ماه (😂) رو کتاب خریدم و شاد و خندان به صندوق اومدم و همچین صحنه‌ای رو دیدم... اینجا دیگه اشک تو چشمام جمع شد. چهره‌هایی آشنا و بعضاً آدم‌هایی که فقط اسمشون رو شنیدم روبه‌روم بودن. آدم‌هایی که کودک و نوجوان دغدغه‌شون بوده و در طول سال‌ها تاریخ کشورمون در این مسیر خدمت کردن و آثاری به جا گذاشتن...
آدم‌هایی مثل آقای شکوری رو باید روی چشم گذاشت.

This book is hilarious. Who knew sharing processed meats could be so funny?

I liked the part where he found the hot dog!

[midnightfaerie · Rating 5 out of 5]

We read several "okay" books today and then this one. From the start it had every single one of my children and myself completely enraptured with our pigeon and his hot dog dilemma. The illustrations are always so simplistic yet detailed, and I love the expressions on the characters face. Such a range of emotions are betrayed brilliantly from hostility to a bored sort of sarcasm that almost makes you feel our pigeon is rolling his eyes. A wonderful book, and a great lesson about sharing to boot, which makes Mo Willems, once again, a favorite in our home.

"So it doesn't taste like chicken then?" Nope, it tastes like banana pudding

[Aleisha · Rating 5 out of 5]

My wacky babies (sans Lilly) are currently obsessed with the pigeon books by Mo Willems. (As they should be! They are BRILLIANT!) So much of the story is captured in the minimal (yet extremely expressive) illustrations that seem to nudge the reader to slow down, look at the pictures, enjoy the story, and stay a while.

[Holly Ducarte · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great book to teach children the importance of sharing, even though sometimes we want to keep it all to ourselves. How sharing creates friendship and is more important than being selfish. Pigeon is so relatable and funny. The duckling is a cutie your little ones will love.

[Ashlee Tominey · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was our first Pigeon book and we loved it! I also just like hearing my son say "pigeon" and "hot dog". After we read it each time, we turn to the back cover page and pretend to eat all the hot dogs pictured there. A very fun read.

am I counting a kids book in my reading challenge? 100%

The most amazing book ive ever read 10/10.

[Abigail · Rating 4 out of 5]

Following up on his initial Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! , in which the eponymous pullastrine hero tried to wheedle his way into the driver's seat, Mo Willems here has his pigeon interacting with a persistent and very clever duckling. Having found a delicious hot dog, Pigeon is intent on eating it, and immensely frustrated at the continual questioning of Duckling, which prevents him from doing so. There is a method to The Duckling's madness, of course, and the two birds end up sharing the hot dog...

Like its predecessor, The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! combines a pitch-perfect tale of toddler hi-jinks with immensely appealing cartoon-style illustrations that match and accentuate the humor of the text. The exchanges between Pigeon and Duckling, the hilarious back-and-forth, Pigeon's increasingly hysterical claims of ownership over the hot dog, all ring true as a snapshot of how younger children often interact. Also like its predecessor, this an incredibly well-designed book, with excellent page layout, intelligent use of subtly colored paper throughout, and text and art that work seamlessly together. Recommended to anyone who has enjoyed others of the pigeon books, or who is looking for good selections for toddlers and younger children.

I gave it a three because it kept saying the same thing over and over again.

FABULOUS!!!!!

[Anna · Rating 4 out of 5]

So I have to admit that we first read "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" because it's so well-loved and both my son and I didn't love it that much. BUT, I thought I would give this book a shot and boy, it's funny. It cracks me up. And my son now walks around asking "Does a hot dog taste like chicken?"

[Steve Holden · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is another of the Pigeon books I've had for a long time. This one cracked me up when it first came out! I loved the subtle humor in illustrations and the interaction it creates in a read aloud. This is such a silly premise, but one that resonates with children, and when you can connect fun and reading, it's always a win!
