My son loves these books
My son got a passion for the pidgin books in pre school. Every year at Christmas they get a Christmas Eve gift of pajamas and a book. This is the one my son will be getting. I’m excited to see his reaction. The books appears to be bound well and no issues that I saw upon arrival. Time will tell.

    Our family adores the Pigeon series, and Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Sleigh is another fantastic addition! The mischievous Pigeon is back with his usual antics, and the story is as entertaining and hilarious as ever. The illustrations are vibrant and engaging, capturing all the charm we love from the series. Unlike many holiday-themed spin-offs that can feel rushed or uninspired, this book stands on its own as a genuinely fun and well-thought-out story. It’s a delightful read for the whole family and a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. Highly recommended!

    Don’t let the pigeon drive the sleigh is everything you can expect from Pigeon! I love how the pigeon books make a way for parents to be fun & wacky while reading! Big fans.
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2023
    My daughters (7 year old twins and 3 year old) and I are obsessed with Mo Willems' books. My twins started memorizing his books when they were 2 years old, so of course we were very excited for a new Pigeon book!
    That persuasive pigeon is always up to something! I love the story. It's like the others, but unpredictable, so it was so much fun to read and I'm looking forward to reading it many more times. There's also a little "Easter egg" hidden on the page with the fireplace, and my daughters noticed it right away! I just saw stockings at first, but they knew! I don't want to spoil it for Mo Willems fans, so that's all I'll say. ;)
    And the ending really made me hopeful for another Pigeon book. I sure hope he'll write more, because we love them!
    It's another cute book, but what I love most about Mo Willems' books is that they're enjoyable no matter how old you are and they're educational. Toddlers love the silly characters and their lines, which they quickly memorize, and then that encourages them to read.
    One of my twins was reluctant to practice reading sometimes, but she was always in the mood for Pigeon or Elephant and Piggie books. They really helped with her confidence. Both of them started reading chapter books last year, but we'll always enjoy Mo Willems' books. Of course I got "Be the Bus," which is targeted towards adults, too.
    I definitely recommend this book for any age and it would make a wonderful Christmas gift! We just couldn't wait until then and had to read it now. :)

  • Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2025
    I ordered this book with a reward credit through Xfinity not knowing this would be my daughter's new favorite book. This is the first book that she will sit down and read on her own, and yes, she recites every page by memory and is so happy to read to everyone else in the house. She requests her "pigeon book" at night when we're getting ready for bed and loves to yell out, "LET ME DRIVE THE SLEIGH!" Definitely recommend and will be buying other books in the series as well.
