Dave Pigeon: WORLD BOOK DAY 2023 AUTHOR: 1

Product Information

Author Guy Bass introduces SCRAP, about one robot who tried to protect the humans on his planet against an army of robots.

However, Opprobrious Vastanavius, a rather unpleasant pigeon, challenges Dave to a flying contest, and Dave can’t say no. Having tried medical school and writing for The Royal Drawing School, she was gently pushed by colleagues and her husband into writing for children. From Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to theatre greats Tom Stoppard and Alan Bennett to rising stars Polly Stenham and Florian Zeller, Faber Drama presents the very best theatre has to offer.There will be funny bits and scary bits and biscuity bits as these two daring pigeons pledge to make the world a better place for pigeons everywhere. Our Words for Life site is packed with ideas for fun, family activities that support children's reading, writing and speaking at home. The story then follows of the mostly failed plans of our bantering heroes as they plot the demise of the cat that threatens to destroy the future of generations of pigeons (slight exaggeration) and seal for themselves a golden future of biscuits - the nice ones with the jam in the middle.

This explored their part in Being an Ally, from the process of becoming a contributor to their own reflections on their writing. Life doesn't get much better for pigeons Dave and Skipper as they struggle for their meagre existence on leftovers and when tempted by a crumby treat, Dave is attacked by fiery ginger Mean Cat. We're hugely excited to have worked with our friends at World Book Day, the charity whose mission is to promote reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own.Faber Members get access to live and online author events and receive regular e-newsletters with book previews, promotional offers, articles and quizzes. Another hilarious combination of engaging plot, silly jokes and wonderful illustrations from the Dave Pigeon team, which means that this sequel is just as good as the original. The humour is silly and full of punny jokes, and the final message about believing in yourself is perfect for younger children.
