Kid's English #129
Quick Summary
If you've got a kid who's into birds or just loves a good silly story, this one's a winner. Ted the falcon has his sights set on catching Walter the pigeon, but Walter's got some tricks up his feathers that keep things from going according to plan. It's got that perfect mix of mild peril and laugh-out-loud moments that keeps early readers turning pages without getting too scary. The relationship between these two feathered characters feels fresh and fun, especially since most kids wouldn't expect a pigeon and falcon to end up in the same story. Parents will appreciate that it's a quick read with actual story arc and character development, not just simple repetition. If your kid enjoyed "Frog and Toad" or other easy readers with animal pals, they'd probably devour this one just as fast. It's the kind of book that makes kids feel proud of finishing a "chapter book" even though they read the whole thing in one sitting.
