The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? 小鸭子捡到一块饼干？ ISBN9781423151289

　　He has whined, wheedled, fibbed and hollered his way throughmany books. He wanted to drive the bus, he demanded a puppy, hepleaded for a hot dog party...
　　But now, in a fantastic new title from Mo Willems, along comesDuckling, with bright twinkling eyes and impeccable manners. Sheasks for a cookie and what does she get? A cookie, of course! ThePigeon is outraged! Incensed! How could this have happened? HOW isit possible that this duckling gets a cookie?! Well, because sheasked. Nicely. ——This text refers to the Paperback edition.

　　The Pigeon is back (hooray!) and this time the drama centerson an adorable little duckling who gets a cookie just byasking--politely. Just by asking?! Politely reminds the duckling,but the Pigeon is already off on a hilarious rant about all thethings he asks for--many of which readers of the earlier Pigeonbooks will remember--ending with the all-too-familiar refrain,“It’s not fair.” Author Mo Willems adds a new twist to this Pigeonstory by juxtaposing Pigeon’s familiar high volume theatrics withthe calm simplicity of a soft-spoken duckling. As a parent, Iappreciate the book’s message about the power of politeness and therewards of sharing (warning: cookies are involved), yet the storynever loses the jovial, high-spirited quality that makes the Pigeonbooks so popular with kids and the adults who read to them.
