Book Synopsis

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: there’s frozen white dust on the ground, the Human Lady has decorated her nest with shiny things, and the scent of scrumptious goodness is wafting from the kitchen . . .

But then Tinkles the Canary comes with unprecedented news. That delicious smell is not just deliciousness with a sprinkling of yumminess . . . it’s the smell of TURKEY. Being cooked!

Horrors!

Can Dave and Skipper save a bird that’s delivered in a plastic wrapper? Probably not. But what if they can work out a way to put nut roast on the menu instead?

Brought to life with funny black and white illustrations throughout. Perfect for enticing those who are new to reading!

Our Review Panel says...

Our favourite-pigeon-duo, Dave Pigeon and Skipper, are back in another hilarious adventure.

In this book, Dave and Skipper are looking forward to the Big Dinner Day (aka Christmas Day) and even more so to eating the delicious scraps of the main meal… That is, until their neighbour lets them in on what humans eat on Christmas Day – BIRD. Then you can look forward to another not-so-foolproof plan from Dave and Skipper and their new friend Robbie the Robin.

I’ve been a big fan of Swapna’s writing since her first Dave Pigeon book. She has taken a creature we see every day and turned it into a lovable character in her laugh-out-loud series. With beautiful illustrations from Sheena Dempsey and a well-written, hilarious text by Swapna Haddow, this is sure to be a treat for young readers who love animal stories and funny adventures. Swapna is also the author of the fabulous Bad Panda series. This is the seventh book in the series, but Turkey Dinner can be read alone.
