Pigeon P.I.

Pigeon private investigator Murray just wants to take things easy, but when kind-hearted Vee starts to sing like a canary (after all, she is a canary) he can't hold out. Murray agrees to find the feather thief who has kidnapped her friends, but his change of heart comes too late as Vee herself has gone missing. Murray must now find the mysterious feather thief and save his new friend, or is her goose cooked? This clever and engaging picture book is a delightful and witty first look at the 'noir' detective genre for young readers. A pigeon private investigator emerges from retirement to track down a birdnapper with the help of his feathered friends. A cute chick reports the crime and makes herself useful enough to become a partner in the detective agency, which by the end of the book is back in business. The book includes comical directions for doing detective work.
