Children between the ages of 4 and 11 can enter for a chance to have Mo Willems (author of new children’s classics “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus”, “Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale”, “Leonardo the Terrible Monster”, and more) visit their school. Simply have your child use the handy entry form to draw a picture of what they think the pigeon wants — entries must be postmarked by March 3rd, allowing time for them to be judged before the April 1st release of Mr. Willems new pigeon book.

Got a child worried about the finer points of pigeon-drawing technique? The web site provides instruction for your perfectionist-artiste. In fact, it has a whole lot of other fun stuff for kids to see and do, so it’s a great way to fill a rainy Seattle afternoon. Check out http://www.pigeonpresents.com.
