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

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
