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! If you can read this, you obviously understand Pigeonese. You may read my book. If you're a cat and you've learnt Pigeonese . . . (HA HA HA! As if a cat would be smart enough to learn Pigeonese). This must mean if you are a cat and you are able to read this, you have taken a pigeon hostage so that you can trick them into translating the Pigeonese words into Meow. I demand you release the hostage pigeon now. My book contains TOP SECRET ideas that are NONE of a cat's business. Dave Pigeon is writing a book on how he defeated Mean Cat in order to help fellow pigeons everywhere. Cats beware! A hilarious debut for 6+ readers with black and white illustrations by the superbly talented Sheena Dempsey. 'A hilarious new series.' Angels and Urchins 'A really enjoyable read for children just moving into chapter books.' Books for Keeps '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 'I can't imagine any child not loving Dave and waiting excitedly for his next adventure.' Serendipity Reviews '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

Loved this book. It was very funny, interesting and made me want to keep reading it. A bright and interesting front cover and easy writing inside to follow. I will definitely read this book again and I’m going to tell my twelve year old brother to read it too!

I like that it's funny. It was fiction and my favourite characters were DAVE and SKIPPER. My favourite bit was the end bit when they had to get MEAN CAT back and I would recommend this book to YOU.

Dave Pigeon tried to get Mean Cat out of the house because Mean Cat was being mean to Dave Pigeon.

This is a very funny book. I liked the characters and their friendship. I enjoyed the fact that the story didn't end even after the cat was defeated. I liked all the plans!
