The last part where he gave the pigeon the cookie! But he gave the pigeon the cookie because he doesn't like the nuts! That's funny!

What do you think of the cover?
I like it with the words and the duck and the pigeon and the cookie!

Do you want me to read it again?
Yeah, another time.


Of course, this is a Mo Willems book. So it's amazing. 

This is a book about a duckling who gets a cookie just for asking. Well, of course, the pigeon gets mad he can't have a cookie and doesn't understand why he can't get a cookie. He throws a huge fit.

Duckling is nice and gives him the cookie. But he only gives it to him because it has nuts and he doesn't like nuts.

Anyway, the book is really cute and funny and well done. Because Mo Willems.
