Pigeon Perch-able Night Light

Chris Ford — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 17:13:00 GMT

In my house we're kind of a little pigeon crazy (thanks to Mo Willems), so maybe that's the reason I'm noticing all of this pigeon related kids stuff all of a sudden. To wit: the Pigeon Perch-able Light by Ed Carpenter.

Available in pink, orange, black or white, the pigeon night light has a wooden clothespin for feet for easy perching. And it's not like a normal night light that you plug into directly to the socket - it has a cord with a plug.

Oh, and it's "Designed by Ed Carpenter for Thorsten Van Elten." When you see something like that on a web site, it's a safe bet that it will cost you.

Mo Willems Pigeon Go-Go Backpack

I'm in the market right now for a backpack for my two year old daughter, and I think I might have found it. The Pigeon Go-Go Backpack is too cool not to get. Not sure what it's all about? Then click the "read more" link.

If you aren't familiar with the Pigeon, then FIRST you should run, not walk, to your favorite book store and buy a copy of Mo Willem's "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" or my favorite, "Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late." After you and your children have been sufficiently indoctrinated, then come back to this blog post. By then, you'll think this backpack is as cool as I do. Plus, by the looks of the backpack, it seems the pigeon is about to have a hot dog party. And who doesn't love a hot dog party?

Do You Know What Mo Willems' Pigeon Wants?

Me neither. That didn’t stop me from ordering Caldecott-winning Willem’s next installment of his Pigeon picture books. Online, the title only appears as The Pigeon Wants a … . However, the flock of fans should find out what Pigeon has his heart set on today. Not only is it the official book release, it’s also Pigeon’s birthday. Sounds like it’s time for a hot-dog party!

Updated: I know what Pigeon wants.

A puppy.

Purchase it at Amazon, $14.99.

Don't Let the Pigeon Drool on the Pillow

Perhaps you and your child are fans of the popular Mo Willems pigeon books? Perhaps you were intrigued by the 2005 documentary Strangers in the Neighborhood, a film about racial tensions inside a Dutch pigeon racing community after an influx of Turkish immigrants? Maybe you still can't figure out what was up with that curiously short druglord on The Wire who kept pigeons on a Baltimore rooftop? Maybe your child wants to get a pet pigeon named Bernice and dance the Pigeon, just like Bert on Sesame Street?

Perhaps you are simply looking for a small, stylish, kid-friendly throw pillow.

Whatever your goal, you will be delighted by this silk-screened mini pigeon pillow from Salvor Fauna. $48 at Design Public. Other animals available.

"The Pigeon Gets His Own PJs!" By Mo Willems, (Sort of)

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 14:00:00 GMT

Here's something for lovers of award-winning children's author Mo Willems and his smart-alecky "The Pigeon..." series of books. These PJs will give little bookworms dreams that are as sweet 'n' salty as Pigeon himself. The design on the long-sleeve set references such titles as "The Pigeon Loves Things That Go!" and "The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog!" (Take note: The sizes are wee! The largest is 24 months.)

$35, Perfect PJs.

Perch-able Pigeon Light

Just because you have moved out of the city doesn't mean you need to leave all reminders of it behind. Think of the Pigeon Light is an "urban souvenir"-- one that doesn't crap on your head. Wooden clothespins as feet. Clip him onto any surface you desire.

I think this would be adorable as a night light perched on a shelf or book case in your child's room.

Available at Spunky Sprout for $105
