[@MelissaM-lo5hi]

“Silliness has validity” I love this. Love the way his mind works. In his meaning behind his message. Much thought involved. Love it!

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Can't believe it been 20 years since the pigeon book is out what a beautiful milestone.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

What a delightful charming ,and joyful segment love MO Willem he's such amazing author/ writers.

[@debrahelmlinger6256]

Retired Children's here, Mo Willems books were always among the most popular and we even made pidegeon and hot dog costumes for our Storybook festival as well as the having the pidegeon appear in our annual Vaudeville Show🤗

[@mikemyhre644]

Mo Willems is a genius, and I'm always happy to see him on the Tonight Show!

[@gwenUTUBE]

Mr. Mo Willems, we kinder educators thank you for your amazing books. Forever. 🤗

[@inderjeet.k]

I have read every book of yours, Mo, to my kids. You are our favourite author ❤️

[@mafeuk]

Shout out who remember him for Sheep in the Big City. This man is a genius

[@jeswilde6188]

DAAAwwwrrr I love this! We need more silly play in this world! We have stopped having fun, bring back the simplicity of silliness

[@braddiehl37]

I read these books to my adult friends drinking beer around the campfires. Thank you Mo!

[@laurakuley3085]

The Knuffle Bunny series is a huge favourite here. The illustration style is beautiful and the story has humour and heart. We have entire sayings/rituals around the books. Thank you!!!

[@TheMrsGeorgeHarrison]

I LOVE Mo Willems' books. I read them to all the kids I work with. They love when I do silly voices and sounds while reading them! Hands down my favourite children's book author!

[@carlotacarbonell]

My kids learned how to read thanks to the piggy books! We are in a book is the absolute best!!!! We have read it a million times!

[@TheAolivieri100]

Piggy and Gerald books helped my kids learn how to read with expression. I love reading them so dramatically, and my children see that, take that, and practice reading with expression and emotion. Our household is a BIG fan of Mo willem! Thank you for sharing your talent with the world!

What a delightful, charming and joyous segment.

[@adamrushford]

you forgot a comma

[@davidwartski7213]

@@adamrushford In this instance, the Oxford comma is not necessary.

[@adamrushford]

@@davidwartski7213 interesting thank you for the insight!

[@annikawettle978]

Hes so sweet, funny, and cosy :)

[@dianehartung5954]

Mo is a GENIUS!!!

[@hkim7926]

My son would not speak until he was forced to. He was turning 6 and we were waiting for him to bloom. I had one of the piggie and gerald book and he loved to act out the scenes. Once I saw that, I ordered the whole set. My son who wouldn’t talk now acts out all the scenes with his little brother, reads, shouts, groans, and more throughout the entire set. Now we are moving onto the pigeon book. He just loves reading Mr. Willems’ book and this clip brought me to tears.

[@dianehartung5954]

My Grandson loved Gerald and Piggy And The Pigeon!!

[@jillquagliata5347]

We love Mo Willems! We used to act out his books ALL the time. We even got to meet him in person in NYC for a special event. He’s great!

[@debbeleigh1930]

Great take on being silly! He’s amazing!

[@DREZJAY]

Never heard of this guy. He's awesome 🤗!

[@d-sciencestudent3108]

Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus? My son was obsessed with this book -- Hey!!!!!!

[@boreduser12]

Love his books

[@dotcom624]

My daughter used to get “in trouble” (not really) in K/1 because she would read the Elephant & Piggy books exactly as the font was written in the book when partner reading. Best kind of trouble you could get in! Pretty sure we read them at bedtime until she was at least 8. Always fun! Thanks so much for your contributions, Mo!

[@cynthiadianecarey9902]

I love pigeons, and now, thanks to you, I can draw one❣️

[@anishihira]

My 4 year old learned how to read with Piggie and Gerald, the 1st series that sparked her love of books. My kids have slept with their Piggie/Gerald and Pigeon blankets almost every night for the past two years. This man is a rockstar in our home!

[@earthwarriorangel]

This is my single most favorite jimmy fallon video of all time

[@LanaKennedy121]

We love his books! We have all the piggie/elephant books here! ❤

[@SchwietLife1]

When my son was little our mission was to read every one of his books. I too wanted to read them even without my child!!!

[@Larissa-le7dk]

Love his book our class fav is don’t let the pigeon drive the bus

[@dianehartung5954]

And Millis was his Favorite Author!!!!

I liked seeing how earnestly everyone was working on their artwork

[@rebecca5303]

My kid loves his books.

[@brennanspark]

Cool to see him on Jimmy Fallon!

[@robbeason]

Mo!!!!

[@wishingonthemoon1]

As an american who moved abroad (and has never been as happy as in the USA), one of the thing that kills my soul is the lack of silliness and goofiness here in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland . There’s a lack of joy and connection here, but I’m doing my best to bring it in full force!

[@joshuasampson6343]

I respect Mo Willems. He created Suzie Kabloozie, Feff The Cat and other characters

[@jengirl7531]

My daughter has grown up with the books.

[@aleriusxd5860]

I lovedd❤❤❤

[@darthsnookievader03]

Great guy😊

[@The1Grenade]

I too am a big fan of Mr. Mo here, and I enjoy reading many of his books regularly with my 2 young girls. BUT, the big question for a guy of many talents @JimmyFallon (and any other commenters) - what voices do you use for the characters of these books?! I give Gerald a slower & deeper voice (appropriate to an Elephant?), bug Piggy get's a silly British accent which makes my kids giggly.

[@Laura-gb1jv]

For me, Gerald's voice is quieter and more monotone, while Piggy's is a bit louder, higher, and MORE emPHAtic!

[@maggiebannenberkowitz9254]

Its called Humor Therapy too!!

[@dakotajohnson8113]

Mo don't let Jimmy host the Tonight Show 😂😂😂😂

Bob Ross was a painter for old people. I think you mean Fred Rogers.

[@Laura-gb1jv]

I suspect both would've been fans of Mr Willems's work. Also Jim Henson.

[@adamrushford]

@@Laura-gb1jv no Laura they're dead. I don't think anybody asked if Jim Henson would have been a fan of mr. Willem.. what the hell are you even talking about?
