Ever wonder why pigeons act so weird? Because they are secretly chasing bad guys and flying around saving your butt! This hilarious illustrated series is perfect for fans of BAD GUYS and DOG MAN.
What do REAL PIGEONS do? They fight crime, of course! Wait, what? You didn't know your town is protected by a secret squad of crime-fighting feathered friends? Well, you are about to get schooled. REAL PIGEONS solve mysteries! REAL PIGEONS fight bad guys! And REAL PIGEONS won't stop until your neighborhood is safe and the questions are all answered: Like, why have all the breadcrumbs disappeared? And which food truck smells the best?
You know pigeons, right? They're the ones that are always underfoot in towns, looking for crumbs, hopping around the place. Maybe you've thrown some crumbs sometimes? Or maybe you've thought they were stupid.
Well, you shouldn't. (That is, you shouldn't think they're stupid. You should definitely still throw crumbs.) Because these pigeons ... are SUPERHEROES!
Well, the ones in the book are. The one you passed the other day with its head stuck in a cup might not be. Unless that was a cunning disguise! That's the thing with pigeons. You just can't tell.
This is a fantastic, really funny book. It's divided into three connected stories, detailing how the crime fighting REALPIGEONS squad comes together and solves the mysteries of the empty park, the constantly trapped bats and the stink bomb threatened food fair. The heavy illustrations will make this popular with younger readers, and older ones will love reading it on their own.
There's a great sequel hook, lots of memorable characters, and brilliant humour. This is a great read. Just don't be surprised if your young reader shows a lot of interest in streets pigeons after reading...
I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
