Activity: Examining the Illustrations
Thereʼs a nice description on the copyright page of how Mo Willems created his singular illustrations. Basically, he says theyʼre "a melding of hand-drawn ink sketches and digital photography."

("How did Mo Willems make his illustrations? What do you notice about them?") If you look very carefully, you will notice a guest appearance from our friend Pigeon, the main character of Donʼt Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!. See if your audience spots him the first time you read the story. If not, ask them to look for him the second time through.
