About this book

Dave Pigeon, the brilliant pigeon mastermind, is determined to find and eat all of your biscuits.

Aided by Skipper (typing the story as it happens), Dave also aims to defeat his nemesis Mean Cat - even if it means changing his epic plans, here and there.

Children will laugh themselves silly at Dave, and the expressive illustrations complete a perfect funny book for younger readers.
