PIGEON NEEDS A BATH BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS
Pigeon is filthy. He is told he needs a bath. But he swears he JUST took one...maybe a month ago?! Pigeon does NOT want to take a bath. He finds it unimportant. He swears he smells fine! At least, for a pigeon.
However, Pigeon is surrounded by flies. Surely that must mean something, right? Especially when the flies can't stand to be around Pigeon because he stinks too much! Even the flies tell Pigeon to take a bath!
This convinces Pigeon that he must need a bath after all. He heads to the bathtub. Pigeon is convinced he will NOT LIKE taking a bath.
Pigeon is full of complaints. The water is too hot, too cold, too lukewarm. The water in the tub is too wet, too deep, not deep enough. There are too many toys in the tub, and not enough toys in the tub. Finally, Pigeon hops into the bathtub with a SPLASH!
What do you know? Pigeon thinks having a bath is fun! He loves the bubbles and his wrinkly toes, singing, and playing with Duckling. In fact, Pigeon loves taking his bath so much he stays in it for TEN HOURS. And wants to stay in it forever!
