Pigeon books are the best books for kids! Started buying for my granddaughter when she was small. She would run to sit on Pap's lap so he would read them! She has them all but this one, and she will get it when we see her-- she just turned 19! Hoping she will read them to her children one day!

This book is absolutely wonderful— just like all other pigeon books. My daughter has speech delay and LOVES these books. We laugh so much with the pigeon. Thanks for a great addition, Mo!

The book is another fantastic addition to the collection for any Mo Willems fan, particularly a youngster who is getting ready to start school. I am an elementary school librarian, and am looking forward to starting off the year with this for my prekindergarten and kindergarten students. It humorously tackles some of those fears children have about school. My only complaint is actually about Amazon. The cover of the book was damaged. It's minor, the bottom of the book looks like it got hit on the corner of something and there is a small scratch above Pigeon's head. No biggie, but still disappointing.

My 7-year-old granddaughter just got through reading this book. It did make her laugh. She thinks it is a good book for children 3years and older--probably best for a four-year-old. She thought it addressed the things children would be worried about just as they were to begin school. She thought the illustrations were funny. It is an easy book for a beginning reader. She loves all the pigeon books.

I don't know how Mo Willems does it but The Pigeon Has to Go to School is just as fantastic as the rest of the series! In true Pigeon form we find him fighting this horrible injustice with every fiber of his being taking the reader along on his emotional journey. This story addresses many of the fears and anxieties that little ones feel as they get ready to go to school for the first time in a fun and silly way. This is a perfect book for back to school and will have kids laughing and giggling as they face their fears with Pigeon.
