The Pigeon Will Ride the Roller Coaster!

From #1 New York Times bestselling, award-winning author and illustrator Mo Willems!

Buckle up for twists, turns, and emotional loop-de-loops in the most roller coaster-y Pigeon book ever! The Pigeon WILL be ready. Will YOU!?

Mo Willems’ beloved, tantrum-throwing Pigeon is back—and this time, he’s facing his biggest challenge yet: conquering his fear of the roller coaster. With his signature blend of humor and heart, Willems captures that universal feeling of wanting to be brave while also being absolutely terrified. Young readers will recognize themselves in every feather-ruffling moment.

This delightfully expressive picture book tackles big feelings with the perfect mix of comedy and compassion. As the Pigeon psyches himself up (and then down, and then up again), children learn that it’s okay to feel scared about new experiences—and that courage doesn’t mean having no fear at all.

Perfect for:

• Kids preparing for their first roller coaster ride (or any nerve-wracking “first”)
• Fans of the Pigeon who’ve been following his hilarious adventures
• Parents looking for a gentle way to talk about facing fears
• Read-aloud sessions that invite participation and giggles

Willems’ spare text and iconic cartoon illustrations make this an instant classic that kids will want to revisit again and again. Whether your little one is a thrill-seeker or needs a little extra encouragement, this book celebrates the wild ride of growing up—one loop-de-loop at a time.
