Real Pigeons Fight Crime (Book 1)
A book that is perfect for reluctant readers, Real Pigeons Fight Crime is a fast-paced, hijinks-filled romp, following a team of crime fighting pigeons as they solve one mystery after another in this chapter book hybrid.Bold drawings accompany engaging text, as Rock, the new recruit to this crime-fighting squad started by Grandpouter Pigeon, leads the charge with his ability of disguise. The pigeons encounter a "haunted" park, a bat trapper, and some danger at a food truck rally. Each of these encounters are their own contained story, easy for younger readers to pick up and put down, or for more advanced readers to breeze through.The illustrations back up the humor in each story. Showing the uniqueness of each pigeon (who all exist in real life---the pigeons are actually named after their type: Rock, Tumbler, Frillback, Homing, and Pouter), the individual pigeon embodies what that type is known for, and lends their talents to round out the crime fighting team. Seeing the world through Rock's eyes is fun since he is newly experiencing what the "big city" has to offer along with the reader.Cute, quick, and engaging, Real Pigeons Fight Crime is a great start to a very fun series! The next book in the series, Real Pigeons Eat Danger, is coming out May 5, 2020, so look out for that next "Very Coo" adventure!
