Dave Pigeon: WORLD BOOK DAY 2023 AUTHOR
Swapna Haddow, Sheena Dempsey
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.

It was funny and I liked the pigeons because they were cute. I also thought the cat was cute. I liked it when there were loads of different birds in the garden even an ostrich!

It was emotional and funny at the same time. It is the story of two friends that are called Dave and Skipper. They try to get rid a of a cat together.

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.
