Dave Pigeon
by Swapna Haddow
Dave Pigeon dictates his memoirs from a kitchen windowsill, setting out his many failed plans for defeating the cat who injured his wing.
A story about animals, funny and silly in tone. We would put it with children of 5–8, and at a reading age of about 6 for reading alone.
Nothing flagged
We have not flagged any content in this one that a parent would usually want warning about.
Part of a series
This is book 1 of the Dave Pigeon series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
