description: Mo Willems, the winner of three Caldecott Honors and two Theodore Seuss Geisel Awards, is the creator of the books in this outstanding collection of bestsellers. These inventive and humorous stories star an unforgettable cast of a demanding pigeon and a pair of unlikely friends. In his Pigeon books, a city bird won't take "no" for an answer—whether he wants to drive a bus or stay up past his bedtime. In the Elephant and Piggie series, two lovable and funny friends—an optimistic (and often reckless) pig and a cautious, pessimistic elephant support each other when they are sad or dealing with pesky birds. The cartoon-style illustrations perfectly capture the hilarious but heartfelt action in every story. It's no wonder these books have won the hearts of kids around the country!
