Pigeon Bag

My sister-in-law Jen is a first grade teacher at Madison Creek Elementary in Goodlettsville.  At their school each room has a theme and Jen’s theme is The Pigeon.  Now if you have no idea what I am talking about when I say The Pigeon, then you are truly missing out.  The wonderful, amazing children’s author, Mo Willems, is the creator of The Pigeon.  These are by far my favorite kid’s books and that says a lot if you know me and Harper’s book collection.  We have tons of Mo Willems books and they are just the best.  Let me make some recommendations while I am at it:  Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus, Don’t Let The Pigeon Stay Up Late, The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog and The Pigeon Wants a Puppy.  Mr. Willems also writes other books that are just as wonderful and we are also the proud owners of these as well:  Knuffle Bunny, Knuffle Bunny Too and Leonardo The Terrible Monster.  You will have to forgive my little book reviews here, but I am just a huge advocate for good children’s literature.  So back to the subject at hand…Jen’s pigeon themed room.  So Jen needed a pigeon tote bag that she could send home with her “Bus Driver of the Week” (read a pigeon book and you will understand) so she asked if I could make her a  bag.  Well I got right on it and I must say it turned out pretty well.  And Jen loved it.  I hope all her student’s love it too.  Now if you have little ones you must go out to the library or book store and check out any of Mo Willems books today.  You will thank me later.

  1. That is great! That will work so well in her room!

    Love those books as well. They are the greatest! I bet the kid that gets to take that home, loves it! You should put a business card sewn to the inside…everyone Mom will want one!

    Hope all is well!
