The Pigeon Needs a Bath!

In Mo Willems's hilarious 40‑page hardcover, our favorite Pigeon stubbornly argues against the idea of bath time. He insists a bath isn’t necessary—maybe he already took one “last month,” or maybe not—using comical logic and adorable exaggerations. With expressive, minimalist illustrations and witty speech bubbles, Willems captures the familiar push‑and‑pull of daily routines and childhood resistance. Designed for ages 3–5, the story gently encourages hygiene, self‑awareness, and humor in everyday life. Released in April 2014 by Hyperion, this charming Pigeon installment combines playful storytelling and emotional insight, making bath time a laugh‑filled adventure.
