''Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!'' is a bestselling〔"Bestsellers list". ''The Times-Tribune (Scranton)''. 10 May 2006.〕 children's picture book by Mo Willems. Released by Disney-Hyperion in 2006, it is part of Willems's "Pigeon" series. It won a National Parenting Publications Award in 2006〔Helen Foster James and Katherine Krull. "The best in books". ''The Telegraph (Nashua)''. 1 December 2006.〕 and was named one of the top three books for kindergarteners and first graders in a 2006 poll by Scholastic Books.〔"Kids vote on best books". ''Bend Bulletin''. 15 December 2006.〕 ==Reception== Reviews have been positive. In the ''New York Times Book Review'', Bruce Handy called the title pigeon "one of this decade's contributions to the pantheon of great picture book characters". He added, "The Pigeon is whiny, shortsighted, narcissistic, needy, relentless and nakedly manipulative; in short, the Pigeon is a thinly veiled 4-year-old, drawn by Willems with a sure, simple line and a keen sense, as the pages turn, of comic timing."〔Bruce Handy. "Churlish Critters". ''The New York Times Book Review''. 12 November 2006.〕 Kirkus Reviews found "If this offering necessarily lacks the freshness of the original, its wholehearted sense of fun more than makes up for any hint of formula." and Publishers Weekly wrote that "Willems uses voice bubbles and emphatic lettering to suggest the Pigeon's tone of voice, and his solid-color backgrounds progressively dim from soft pink to lavender to a relaxing gray-blue and warm violet, enhancing the growing sense of drowsiness. At last, the hyperactive Pigeon succumbs to slumber, but sleep-resistant and savvy readers will likely plead to read this again."
