Dave Pigeon 5 Book Set by Swapna Haddow (Dave Pigeon, Nuggets, Racer, Royal Coo! & Bookshop Mayhem!)

Dave Pigeon 5 Book Set by Swapna Haddow collects five stories starring Dave Pigeon and his side-kick, Skipper. Across the set, the pair find themselves in everyday scrapes and unexpected situations, including searching for food when their Human Lady goes on ‘holiday’ and travelling to Pawsville Vets in a box.

The collection also follows their encounters with new animals in the pet shop, an outing to London, and a brush with royal life at the Royal Palace. Included is the World Book Day 2023 story, set in a bookshop, where their search for stories and biscuits leads to well-meaning chaos as booksellers debate whether pigeons should be allowed inside.
