The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!...and more stories by Mo Willems includes the title story, Knuffle Bunny Too, and Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed. When a disappointed bus driver drops his lunch on the ground, The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! and concerns himself with keeping it to himself, despite a little duck who is determined to call the gourmet delight his own.  

It turns out that Trixie’s unique Knuffle Bunny is not unique after all. When she takes it to preschool, she finds that classmate Sonia also has a Knuffle Bunny, although they disagree on whose is best and how to pronounce its name. The two girls argue and the teacher takes the bunnies from them in Knuffle Bunny Too. When teacher returns the toys at the end of the day, there’s a slight mix-up. Will Sonia and Trixie notice?

Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed is a delightful story about a naked mole rat named Wilbur who thinks that being naked is overrated. He wants to wear clothing, and to the dismay of his mole rat colony, he does. The colony pressures Wilbur to go au naturel but he’s determined to be the best dressed mole rat there is. It takes a sage grandfather to put things right.
