Frequently asked questions
Do readers need to have read previous Pigeon books to understand this story?

Has this book won any notable awards?
This specific title won the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Picture Book in 2014.
How does the book encourage reader interaction?
The story relies on a fourth-wall-breaking style where the Pigeon speaks directly to the reader, prompting children to actively argue back and convince him to get into the tub.
