It’s Christmas and pigeon friends Dave and Skipper know what that means: Big Dinner Day! Imagine their horror when they discover what’s the centrepiece …
With the sort-of help of Robbie a robin, they decide to rescue their turkey brother or sister, even though its feathers have already gone. Readers won’t be surprised to hear that their Mission Impossible antics don’t quite go to plan, or that it makes for very, very funny reading.
Dave and Skipper are superb comic creations and this story will set everyone ho-ho-hoing, at Christmas, or anytime.
It's the most wonderful time of the year: there's frozen white dust on the ground, the Human Lady has decorated her nest with shiny things, and the scent of scrumptious goodness is wafting from the kitchen . . .

But then Tinkles the Canary comes with unprecedented news. That delicious smell is not just deliciousness with a sprinkling of yumminess . . . it's the smell of TURKEY. Being cooked!
Can Dave and Skipper save a bird that's delivered in a plastic wrapper? Probably not. But what if they can work out a way to put nut roast on the menu instead?
Brought to life with funny black and white illustrations throughout. Perfect for enticing those who are new to reading!
