The Pigeon Faces the First Day of School

School is the challenge in this Pigeon story, as the bird insists he already knows everything while worrying about the teacher, what he might learn, and whether he will like the experience. Those questions give the book a clear connection to the uncertainties children can bring to starting school. Its 40-page format and school-focused premise make it easy to place alongside conversations about that first day.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 preparing for a first day of school
  • Families and caregivers looking for a school-themed read-aloud
  • Fans of Mo Willems’s Pigeon character
