Dave Pigeon and his best friend Skipper were living happily in the Human Lady's house, but now they're travelling in a box to Pawsville Vets ... maybe Dave will finally get his broken wing fixed. The pet shop is full of new friends... Jet the dog, Cricket Ball Face the hamster... and with friendship comes a bit of healthy competition, and what could be better that a race for a racing pigeon?
But the only animal who thinks Dave is capable of going up against the infamous Mickey Lightning is Dave himself.
Praise for the series:
Swapna Haddow has devised an original new character in Dave Pigeon, who’s not the cleverest at working out plans, and the dialogue between Dave and Skipper is very funny. Sheena Dempsey’s illustrations are perfect for bringing the story alive and the layout including lots of use of speech bubbles makes this a really enjoyable read for children just moving into chapter books. Books for Keeps
This book will be adored by newly independent readers as it promises 'no boring bits'. Readers will love this action packed story about friendship, bravery and the lengths a pigeon will go to to secure themselves a crumbly treat. Reading Zone
Children will, undoubtedly, love this unusual approach which will have them giggling throughout, if not laughing out loud. The Bookbag
I can't imagine any child not loving Dave and waiting excitedly for his next adventure. Serendipity Reviews
just so you know, it’s crazy, funny, quite unexpected and a little bit cliff-hangery! So watch out for Dave Pigeon 2, due for release next year. And as for my love of cats. Well … I am now an official crazy pigeon lady. Book Monsters
Readers will love it as it is full of daring and bravery, and much backfiring of ridiculous schemes and much crossing out. The School Librarian
