Hyperion Books for Children

Two time Caldecott award winning author Mo Willems conspires with readers to not let his silly big-eyed pigeon stay up late. Simple black crayoned drawings and text beg and plead with the audience, making it the perfect book for an interactive story-time. Completely charming, captivating and certain to be a favourite for kindergarten children. *****
