"Willems is on a winner with the activities of The Pigeon. I certainly hope he will give us further adventures of this very human bird to enjoy. Highly Recommended." Magpies Magazine
"This is a deceptively simple book, with a great deal of expression and characterisation in very few lines. Best of all, the characters are endearing and the story is sweet." Sydney's Child
"William’s gift is his ability to use very simple illustrations - and very few words, to achieve maximum impact...Young children will love the interactivity of the pigeon addressing them directly." Reading Time
"A basic story with engaging, boldly simple illustrations by New York resident Willems. Loud words in large type and a section resembling an animation storyboard are clues to the author’s animation past." The Courier Mail
"Willems has again produced a great tale about Pigeon in this picture book with minimal text and deceptively simple drawings, witty dialogue and that expressive eye make this book a must read. Young and old will find something to enjoy in this tale of guilt and cunning." Scan
"Despite the simplicity of the drawings, they convey enormous humour...the final page is pure delight." The Sunday Tasmanian
