Mo Willems and The Storytime All-Stars Present: Don't Let The Pigeon Do Storytime!

Beloved children’s author-illustrator Mo Willems takes the stage with “The Storytime All-Stars,” an impressive combination of celebrity actors and comedians, as well as a few surprise guests, for a memorable evening at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. Captured in Summer 2019 in front of a packed house of kids and their grownups, Don’t Let the Pigeon Do Storytime! features Mo and his friends acting out live readings of some of Willems’ most-loved stories (including Knuffle Bunny, Leonardo the Terrible Monster, and A Busy Creature’s Day Eating!), singing silly songs, and even offering a lesson in drawing one of Mo’s most popular storybook characters, Pigeon! This heartwarming hourlong special is chock-full of laughs and interruptions by mischievous Pigeon – and accompanied by an impressive one-man sound effects department who delightfully brings Mo’s silliest story noises to life. But above all else, Don’t Let the Pigeon Do Storytime! emphasizes that Mo isn’t all that different from his pint- sized fans, because as long as they like to make up stories and draw, they, too, are author-illustrators.
