WINNER of the Greenhouse Funny Prize; SHORTLISTED for the Sainsbury’s Book Award and numerous regional awards, this hilarious series is adored by its readers!
This book is in Pigeonese. The following words are a test: cats smell of farts and cabbage. Could you read all the words? Are you sure? Do you want to try that fourth word again? If you managed to read ALL those words, you may turn the page . . .
Dave Pigeon is BACK! And so is his side-kick Skipper. But trouble is afoot. When their Human Lady leaves to go on a ‘holiday’ (whatever that is), Dave and Skipper are horrified to find that their food supply quickly runs dry. With delicious biscuits on their minds, they set off in search of a new owner – but is Reginald Grimster all he seems? Why is he so keen on feeding them? And why does he have so many books about cooking . . .?
Another hilarious instalment in the Dave Pigeon series from Greenhouse Funny Prize winner Swapna Haddow, brilliantly brought to life with Sheena Dempsey’s illustrations.

This is a fictional story, about mischievous pigeons who sneak into the bookshop as it had biscuits with jam in the middle they set on their adventures buy caring a lift on the bus and going in the bottom part of a pram. The book is really funny and recommended to other readers that like to laugh.

I thought it was good because they met up with a spy pigeon and defeated an evil person. Skipper is my favourite character because he is funny and brave. I would recommend it to everyone because it has spy’s in it

This book is about two pigeons Dave and Skipper who lived in a house with their owner the human lady. She will soon be going on a holiday, leaving the pigeons in charge but Dave gets caught by a man and Skipper comes to save him and let the other pigeons free. My favourite character is Skipper as he is very intelligent as he saved Dave and the other pigeons from being turned into pigeon nuggets. I recommend this book for children 8 - 12 and for others who like reading about adventures. I love this book because Skipper helps make every thing fine

I found this book very funny! Loved the jokes at the end.
Fairy Kiki Costa-Rica 26.06.2022
It is really funny because of the two pigeons are always fighting with each other. My favorite character was Fienne because he has lots of secrets and keeps saying 'top secret pigeon business I'm afraid'. I recommend this book to everyone!

Dave pigeon was almost turned into nuggets! Luckily Skipper is by his side to save him again or does he? I definitely suggest it.
