It’s February. It’s dreary and cold. So what better than to look ahead to a summer of sunshine and books!

This year’s Summer Reading Challenge theme has just been announced and it’s a good one: Animal Agents. I’m thrilled to announce that Dave Pigeon has been selected as one of must-have reads in the Animal Agents book collection.

Do investigate the full collection of books because it’s a smashing list. It’s going to be a summer of animaltastic fun so make sure you sign up for the challenge this year.

The ‘It’s-Not-A-Book-Launch’ Book Launch of Dave Pigeon (Nuggets!)

Yesterday afternoon, despite insisting we would not be able to have a book launch for our new book ‘Dave Pigeon (Nuggets!)‘ due to deadlines and work commitments, our crafts event was hijacked and our ‘not-a-launch’ became a wonderful afternoon of crafts and well, major book launching!

Here are some photos from our amazing afternoon at The Alligator’s Mouth bookshop. Thank you so much to all of you who came along to the event and the brilliant children who created their very own incredible International Police Legion of Pigeons (I.P.L.O.P.) badges. It was so lovely to see so many of you and celebrate all things Dave Pigeon.
