Annotation:
Bestselling author and illustrator Mo Willems's pesky rapscallion, the Pigeon, is back, this time insisting he can handle a late night. Using all the excuses in the book, from an "educational" television show to his stuffed animal's desire to stay up, the Pigeon tries everything. But like all little children, he eventually finds himself traveling to slumberland--though not before asking for a glass of water. With Willems's trademark geometric illustrations.

Praise
"The Pigeon is whiny, shortsighted, narcissistic, needy, relentless and nakedly manipulative; in short, the Pigeon is a thinly veiled 4-year-old, drawn by Willems with a sure, simple line and a keen sense, as the pages turn, of comic timing. Like Walt Disney and Charles Schulz before him, Willems understands the primal power and allure of the circle: as characters seemingly drawn with compasses go, the Pigeon--its face in most views is a surprisingly expressive series of concentric circles--can stand toe-to-ideographic-toe with Mickey Mouse and Charlie Brown."
