About this book

Dave Pigeon and Skipper are back! When their human leaves to go on holiday, Dave and Skipper are horrified. Not only are they left alone, but soon their food supplies run dry.

With biscuits on their minds, and grumbling from their stomachs, they set off to find a new owner. Reginald Grimster seems a good choice at first, but why is he so keen on feeding them? And why does he have so many books about cooking?

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.

About the author

Londoner Swapna Haddow is the award-winning children's author of the Dave Pigeon series. She loves to write about boisterous animals that cause mayhem and is working to make sure mean cats, grizzly bears and big-hearted little rabbits find their place on the bookshelves. Friendship and humour are always at the heart of what Swapna loves to write.

Her first published book, Dave Pigeon, illustrated by Sheena Dempsey, received rave reviews and went on to win three regional awards in the UK and was shortlisted for the prestigious Sainsbury's Children's Book Award. The series is based on two pigeons who find themselves battling predators in an array of madcap scenarios, all the while proving that friendship and teamwork can defeat anything. Swapna now lives in New Zealand with her husband, son and their dog, Archie.
