The Pigeon Needs a Bath

　　「為什麼一定要洗澡？洗完還是會再弄髒啊！」「而且我上個月才洗過澡！」「哪裡有臭味？才不是我發出來的，明明就是你！」「生命這麼短暫，為什麼要浪費在不重要的事情上？」看來要說服鴿子洗澡，可是個大工程……
 
　　凱迪克大獎繪本名家莫威樂（Mo Willems），創造的這隻頑皮鴿子總是意見多多，更愛跟大人討價還價。從洗澡、上床睡覺、到學著有禮貌地要餅乾吃，這隻鴿子誇張而爆笑的反應總能令大人會心一笑，孩子也能看見自己的縮影。

 　　作者莫威樂曾任「芝麻街」（Sesame Street）動畫製作，曾六度獲得艾美獎肯定。《別讓鴿子開公車！》是他的第一本繪本作品，一出版即大受歡迎，更獲《紐約時報》譽為「21世紀最突出的新銳作家」。

　　Smell? What smell? I don't smell. YOU smell. In this hilarious, interactive read in Mo Willems' award-winning Pigeon series, the Pigeon needs a bath! Except, well, the Pigeon's really not so sure about that...  Besides, he took a bath last month! Maybe. It looks like it's going to take some serious convincing to get the Pigeon to take the plunge!
