Children are able to hear a story that is funny and interesting, while ending with a positive underlying message. By the end of the story, the pigeon decides to share half of the hot dog with the little bird, representing the kindness in acts of sharing. I think that this is a great story for young readers to read/listen to due to its mixture of humor and a meaningful ending. Although the pigeon struggled to come to terms with the idea of sharing his hot dog, eventually he split it with the little bird and were both able to enjoy it together, which is even better! I would highly recommend the book as a good story. ( ) kstyro1 | Mar 9, 2020 | I really liked this book. Pigeon finds a hot dog and he wants to eat the entire thing, but duckling has never had a hot dog before. He is asking Pigeon all kinds of questions about the hot dog and Pigeon is getting frustrated with him. Finally they decide to split the hot dog in half so they both get to eat the hot dog. I think this is a good book to read with young children they will think it is funny and they can understand the concept of sharing with others. ( ) AlexaBavido | Sep 16, 2019 | Pigeon rocks! In this tale he has discovered a hot dog, but fast on the heels of his discovery is pesky, inquisitive and ultimately brilliant duckling. Laugh out loud fun, with a good message for kids about sharing. ( ) lisaladdvt | Jun 3, 2019 | In this book, the pigeon finds a hotdog and comes across a curious duckling who has never tried a hotdog. At first the pigeon is very selfish and does not want to share, but finally he splits it in half and the duckling gets to try it. The emotion and personality that Willems gives the pigeon’s character will have readers wanting to constantly read about his adventures.

This Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog storytime inspired treats post is courtesy of our contributor Chantelle of Dolled Up Design…I love parties inspired by books. There is so much inspiration to be found in your child’s favourite book and it can be easy to plan a whole party around one favorite book, like I did with my son’s Go, Dog! Go Party, or to draw inspiration for games, treats and decorations from a series of books. My kid’s party themes usually come from their favorite tv or movie characters, but when there is an opportunity to theme a party or treats around a storybook character I gladly jump at the opportunity.
My kids don’t go to bed without a nightly bedtime story. We have a large and ever-growing book collection, and there have been a few favorites that have stuck out and been read repeatedly. My son was introduced to the author Mo Willems in his kindergarten class this past year and the Pigeon and Elephant & Piggie books quickly became part of our regular rotation. So, when it came time to bring a snack in for the Kindergarten class, a treat themed after these books and characters seemed a natural choice.
The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog:
I came across candy coated Oreo’s on Pinterest that looked like the Pigeon character they had been studying, and I knew they would pair perfectly with shortbread hotdogs just like in the Mo Willem’s book The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog!
To make the Pigeon Oreo’s, I began by creating the eyes. To do this, I laid white candy wafers on a parchment lined baking sheet and melted them slightly in a preheated 200 degree oven for 4 minutes. Once they were soft, I carefully placed a brown chocolate Smartie into the center of each and then allowed them to harden again.
To prepare the beaks, I simply cut yellow candy wafers in half and then opened up the two halves to create the beak shape. I spread these apart on parchment paper in preparation for the coated Oreo’s I would be placing on top.
Once my blue candy wafers were melted, I began dipping the Golden Oreo’s. After each cookie was fully coated I lifted it out with two forks and then carefully placed it on one of the prepared beaks. I finished it off by placing my white candy wafer and brown Smartie eyes in the center.
The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog Activities
For the hot dog cookies, I followed this easy recipe from Taste of Home. Once they were finished off with a drizzle of yellow royal icing “mustard”, they looked just like the hot dog in the book.
The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog Ebook
I loved the way the final product looked packaged in small cellophane bags and ready for my excited little kindergartner to hand out to his class.
These were a perfect class treat, but would also be great party favors for a Mo Willem’s book themed party. For more great treats and party ideas inspired by the storybook characters of Mo Willems, be sure to visit my Pinterest board.
