Welcome to Litsy!

This AF, RA book will be a hit in Pre-K through first grade classroom libraries! If familiar with Willems‘ previous Pigeon stories, the references made in this story will be sure to garner even more laughs. The theme of this book is asking nicely for things you‘d like to have. The pigeon is “the most asking-est in town,” but learns that asking politely can hep get what he wants.

#UCFLAE3414f19 The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? (F) by Mo Willems so funny and children truly love Mo Willems books and illustrations. I would RA this book. The UDL guideline I would use is 7.3 and 3.2 and the ESOL strategy I would use is number 26. http://pigeonpresents.com/get-busy/ has a lot of great activities for this book.

The pigeon always gets the short end of the stick. And now that duckling gets a cookie? What about the pigeon??

Another brilliantly simple and laugh out loud funny book from children‘s book master Mo Willems. Perfect for all ages!

Love those stuffies to add to story telling as well!

The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? By Mo Willems won the Bank Street College of Education Irma Black Award. This is a MF book that would be so fun as a readers theater! I can see a classroom doing an author study on Mo Willems, performing many RT scripts and talking about the lesson, in this case, Pigeon teaches. #ucflae3414sp18

Hey @DuckOfDoom , glad your health's getting better. And thanks for the #ducksandbooks giveaway. Me & my friend here would like to go in the draw for the Hazel Wood.

This gorgeous creature's learnt her tricks from the best (dogs & seagulls) around. If you're having lunch outside at the uni, she'll sit at your feet and beg for food, doing her best puppy-dog impression. In the unlikely event that fails, she'll attempt to eat your shoelaces instead.

Christmas cookie season is on! Fitting that my daughter was reading this at breakfast.

Another gift I can't wait to give my baby bookworm!

This is a cute F book that won the Caldecott as well as the IRA Children‘s Choice. I️ would use this as a DR because this book has sting emotions about the pigeon wanting a cookie. UDL- 1.3. EL- 11. http://lalymom.com/mo-willems-pigeon-book-extension-activity/ #UCFLAE3414F17

This adorable F picture book is written and illustrated by Mo Willems. This is a suitable text for DR, due to the level of emotion that is between the two characters throughout the story. The pigeon can never seem to get what he wants in Mo Willems series of pigeon centered stories. As stated in the title, this story is focused on the pigeon becoming jealous of the duckling because he was given a cookie just by simply asking for it.

This PB by Caldecott Honor winner Mo Willems is a cute book for RA that can also help teach students about manners. The Pigeon complains that he asks for things all the time, but he never gets them. But, the Duckling points out that he asked politely and that's how he got the cookie. This can help children learn about the importance of asking for things politely.

The Duckling Gets a Cookie?! by Mo Willems is the perfect RA F book to share with your students. Although Mo claims that his books are not meant to be instructive, there is a lesson to be learned from each book in this best-selling series. In this particular story, kids learn how asking for something nicely is the best way to get what they want (a skill the pigeon has yet to learn).

This F story was a cute and entertaining book that teaches about politeness and sharing. It's a very easy read that younger kids will definitely enjoy. Mo Willems' illustrations are simple, yet very engaging. I would use it as a fun read in my future class!

Anthropomorphic characters....as a former children's bookseller that is extremely common. There is even a theory that kids get unrealistic ideas about animals from them. Huh. I'd say it's just Fun! And this is one of my favorites. #anthropomorphiccharacters #feistyfeb

Mo Willem's books are funny and a tad sarcastic making his stories a big hit with preschoolers and big people alike. Of course, the key to maximum enjoyment is to develop your own unique Pigeon and Duckling voices to get the most giggles out of the little ones. "Please & Thanks" is important here.
