First published 2014
The Pigeon faces his greatest challenge yet: bath time. He insists he doesn't need to get clean. After all, he bathed last month. Well, maybe he did. The Pigeon comes up with excuse after excuse to avoid the dreaded tub. He argues, he protests, he tries every trick he knows to convince readers that baths are completely unnecessary. But everyone around him thinks otherwise. The Pigeon really does need to get clean, whether he admits it or not. Someone will have to persuade this stubborn bird that getting soapy and wet might not be the terrible ordeal he imagines. Mo Willems, the three-time Caldecott Honoree and number one New York Times bestselling author, brings back the beloved character who has charmed children and parents alike. Will the Pigeon finally give in and discover that bath time can actually be fun?
