About the Book
Pigeons are running amok in Gilbert the Goblin’s house in this hilarious Level 1 Ready-to-Read adventure!
Gilbert the Goblin is absolutely, definitely, one-hundred-percent certain that pigeons are the worst. They perch on his porch and lounge on his lawn. They eat the food in his fridge—and worst of all—peck at his pizza! But really, it’s the pigeons who should be afraid of Gilbert and his tremendous goblin power!

About the Illustrator

Alex is the author-illustrator of the Worst! picture book series and the Jasper & Ollie series, as well as the illustrator of Got Your Nose, written by Alan Katz. Alex lives in Chicago with his dog, Harley, who is the absolute best. Visit him online at AlexWillan.com.

Raves and Reviews
"The bird depicted running around with a pair of pants on its head—comedy gold for any age group—may well deserve the prize for kid lit’s second funniest pigeon. A real knee-slapper; this goblin is a welcome addition to the early-reader scene."
– Kirkus, 9/15/26
"Willan has created another hilarious Gilbert the Goblin tale that will keep early readers laughing as Gilbert franticallu tries to rid himself of his pigeon problem...Vivid, brightly colored digital art uses lots of purple hues and big googly eyes to illustrate poor Gilbert’s feathered-friend dilemma." VERDICT A recommended purchase for early reader collections.
