Dave Pigeon: WORLD BOOK DAY 2023 AUTHOR: 1

Product Information

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 must mean if you are a cat and you are able to read this, you have taken a pigeon hostage so that you can trick them into translating the Pigeonese words into Meow. It provides a fantastic opportunity to focus on reading for pleasure, supporting children's autonomy in book choice, and embedding a habit of reading that brings a wide range of benefits. Swapna Haddow lives in London with her karate-chopping,swash-buckling son (his words not hers), her thirty-something, age-sensitive husband and Archie the Dog.Like the other books in the series, itcombines an exciting plot and courageous characters who are bound together with friendship and loyalty. Drawing on this expertise the team has provided a set of resources to help you run a Book Choice 'Tasting' Café on World Book Day - or beyond. Our Words for Life site is packed with ideas for fun, family activities that support children's reading, writing and speaking at home. Aided by Skipper (typing the story as it happens), Dave also aims to defeat his nemesis Mean Cat - even if it means changing his epic plans, here and there.

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. During the event they shared details of how they get their ideas, top tips for creating stories, and led a classroom draw-along. Having tried medical school and writing for The Royal Drawing School, she was gently pushed by colleagues and her husband into writing for children. Dave Pigeon needs his wing fixed, so it’s off to Pawsville Pets for him and Skipper, who’s just going to keep him company (and type up their adventure, as usual).Join our community to get personalised book suggestions, extracts straight to your inbox, 10% off RRPs, and to change children’s lives. With our partners, World Book Day, The Centre for Literacy in Primary Education, and The Open University we ran a webinar for teachers on how to engage parents with reading for pleasure behaviours.
