Warning: Inappropriate humor! (But I just can’t help myself…)
Today I discovered that whenever someone purchases Mo Willems’ book The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog from our store, the title is truncated on their receipt, so it looks as though they’ve purchased a book that is, um, not appropriate for the picture book section. (Take the last 4 letters off the title above and you’ll see what I mean.)
Inappropriate as it may be, I can’t help picturing the image, rendered in Mo’s playful style, that might appear on the cover of such a book. Or the text balloons on the interior, which (to be honest) wouldn’t have to change that much from those in the Pigeon books. Here’s a page from Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, so you can, um, see what I mean…
I know, I know. It’s terrible!!
But I’ll bet several of you are laughing. ; )
HA! Thank you for the chuckle.
Alison! Oh my. So just think how many he could fit if he got hold of that bus!
That’s terrible. No self-respecting pigeon would sell himself for only $5. 😉 Thanks for the laugh.
From what I’ve seen of Mo (at conferences and such), I bet he’d be laughing right along with us…
bad girl, bad pigeon…..FUNNNNNNY
A few years ago I bought the latest Junie B. book for my daughter, “Junie B. Jones Has a Peep in Her Pocket”, and cracked up when I looked at the receipt. The truncated title was, “Junie B. Jones Has a Pee”.
I saw this because The Pigeon tweeted it. I thought the books couldn’t get any better but they just did!
HILARIOUS!
Love this!! And I’ve come to your post from Mo’s own blog, so yes, he’s laughing right along with us! 🙂
FUNNY! And great to come back to some Pigeon humor after three snow days. 🙂
Yep, laughing here.
*SNORT* What a naughty pidgeon!! The “You’re mom would let me.” Had my friends wondering about my sanity. (Good thing we’ve all worked in the B&N Kids department before. This humor is RIGHT up our alley.)
