Funny story about a couple of pigeons that love biscuits! There is some mild peril involving a cat and an element of bullying by a larger bird. It also ends on a cliff-hanger which is a bit annoying.

I had to read this for a module at university and it was actually quite entertaining.

What an adorable yet hilarious book! Dave Pigeon is a brilliant and original character who you are rooting for as soon as you meet him. He is definitely one of a kind. He's not perfect, as he may have a touch of the dramatics with his tall stories, but he's a fighter!
I couldn't stop smiling as I read about Dave and Skipper's constant changes of plans to get rid of Mean Cat. They really highlighted the brain power you imagine all pigeons to have. If pigeons could have a spoke person, I am pretty sure Dave would be in the running for the job. Human Lady has a heart of gold, though not sure I would want a pigeon living in the house.
The illustrations really match the descriptions of Dave and Skipper, helping to bring these characters alive. I can't imagine any child not loving Dave and waiting excitedly for his next adventure.
