Customer Reviews

Love that pigeon
Another great pigeon story - great drawings, great wheedling from the pigeon, great fun. The only drawback is that my nearly three year old could see which way the wind was blowing ('five more minutes' being one of his own favourite pleas) and was willing to allow the pigeon a bit more leeway than was warranted. If you liked not letting the pigeon drive the bus, you'll love this one too.

My 5 year old loves them all!
There's not a great deal to actually 'read' in this series of books but my wife and 5 year old enjoy them (my wife reads them TO our son... she doesn't enjoy them for herself... at least that's what she tells me!).

I believe we have the whole range now and we have purchased a few for our French nephew (6 years old) and niece (5 years old). Again, because there's not a lot of text, they also find the books amusing and easy to follow.

To summarise, I would recommend the books for children between 4 and 6 years old. One would assume that the books would also be enjoyed by younger children but I cannot comment on their appeal to children older than this.

A great fun book!
This book is beautifully written and illustrated. It's great fun to read with 1-4 or 5 year olds, in my experience - depends how they respond to books. Also good, at times, for chatting about bedtimes!
