Dave Pigeon: WORLD BOOK DAY 2023 AUTHOR: 1

Product Information

The two pigeons aren’t quite sure what to make of the vet's, but Jet the dog, Gary the hamster and the gang soon make them feel at home while Dave gets his new prosthetic wing fitted. Another hilarious combination of engaging plot, silly jokes and wonderful illustrations from the Dave Pigeon team, which means that this sequel is just as good as the original.

Young readers will identify with the Elite Squad's lack of confidence, and revel in Ruth's inventions, and the dastardly Pigeon-Poo Gang, while their elders will enjoy the (useless) duck agent James Pond, and the clever acronyms! This explored their part in Being an Ally, from the process of becoming a contributor to their own reflections on their writing. Drawing on the six elements that we know support children to read for pleasure, we developed this collection of fun ideas that champion both providing pupils with choice, and giving them a voice, as they progress in their reading journey. David Solomons one of the authors I most admire, with his brilliant storytelling, coupled with buckets of humour.The winners of The Farshore Reading for Pleasure Teacher Awards 2023, highlighting the work schools are doing to encourage a love of reading, have. You can also read on to learn more about how we celebrated in 2023, and to access reading for pleasure resources, ideas and activities that can encourage a love of reading throughout the whole year. The humour is silly and full of punny jokes, and the final message about believing in yourself is perfect for younger children.

Some of the funniest books around are children's books, so you're in for a treat with these favourites below. The story then follows of the mostly failed plans of our bantering heroes as they plot the demise of the cat that threatens to destroy the future of generations of pigeons (slight exaggeration) and seal for themselves a golden future of biscuits - the nice ones with the jam in the middle. In 2023, World Book Day took place on Thursday 2 March and the emphasis was on making it YOUR World Book Day.

If you are a cat and you are able to read this, it must mean you have taken a pigeon hostage so that you can trick them into translating the Pigeonese words into Meow. Great for World Book Day, but also full of inspiration to support reading for pleasure throughout the year. The occasional breaks in the story as Dave and Skipper converse back and forth in speech bubbles is cleverly done and the evolution of their plan to expel Mean Cat resulting in lots of revisions and crossings out is another clever additional to the book. The only downside of this book is that it ends so abruptly and we are left desperate to find out what happens next, there are so many unanswered questions- will Dave and Skipper live happily ever after with tummies full of biscuits (the jammy ones)? Children will laugh themselves silly at Dave, and the expressive illustrations complete a perfect funny book for younger readers.
