McCloskey's lighthearted ode to pigeons begins with two strangers sitting on a bench. As one exclaims that he hates these "rats with wings," a group of people dressed in mascot-like pigeon suits descend upon him to explain why pigeons are, in fact, rather fascinating and helpful creatures. After all, as their human defenders point out, pigeons delivered airmail before planes existed; they belong to the same family as the dodo bird; and they even make milk in their crops in order to feed their young. This graphic novel for early readers mixes fact with humor to tell the story of these oft-maligned birds. Ages 5 - 7
