This book written in the same vane as Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, puts the children reading the book in charge of not letting the pigeon stay up late. The pigeon tries to convince the children to let him with arguments like saying that there is an educational special on birds on TV. The arguments get sillier and more desperate as the book goes on, like saying that it is daytime in China. The children keep saying no to the pigeon and finally, the pigeon falls asleep at the end of the book. In the illustrations of the pigeon his body changes positions as he begs and the backgrounds change color. You can see the pigeon getting tired as the story moves on. This book is fun to read at preschool story time because it makes the children part of the story. Making them part of the story also keeps them paying attention and involved.
