Even Mo to love: Willems’ ‘Pigeon’ book adapted for DVD

“The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog” — a lighthearted book by author-illustrator Mo Willems — has finally been adapted for DVD by Scholastic Storybook Treasures. Here, the story of the salivating pigeon who wants to indulge in his newly found street food but is frustrated by an equally hungry duckling, is brought to life through wonderful animation and is set to lively music. The pigeon discovers that its far better to share his delicious treasure, and the tickle fight that ensues between the birds will leave a grin on your child’s face, too. In addition to “The Pigeon,” which is narrated by Willems and his talented daughter Trixie, the hour-long DVD also includes “Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity” and “Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed.” For those who want to know more about the kid-lit superstar, the DVD’s bonus features include “Getting to Know Mo Willems,” an interview with the creative genius, and more.

“The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog … And More Stories by Mo Willems” DVD, $14.95. For info, visit www.amazon.com.
