Series: Pigeon Private Detectives
Description: The Pigeon Detectives are looking forward to devouring a delectable platter of jam tarts--until the tasty treats are stolen from right under their beaks! With tummies grumbling, the PPD are on the hunt for clues, but can the detectives recover the tarts in time before they are all eaten--or worse--stale? As the list of suspects grows longer, our heroes wonder if they'll ever catch the thief jam-handed.
The Pigeon Private Detective chapter books, Christee Curran-Bauer's author-illustrator debut, pokes fun at detective procedurals with kid-friendly humor!Review Quotes: "[W]ith a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor and plenty of puns. The narrative, told through a mix of comic book-style panels and prose, is brought to life with crisp-lined cartoons with mostly pastel tones and a bit of film noir thrown in when the mood is right. An enjoyable homage to the dramatic mystery."--Kirkus Reviews
