This slapstick comedy plays out primarily in spare ink and pencil-crayon illustrations, especially in Schwartz's expressive characters. Two vole brothers look up to see a pigeon flying overhead: "Ooooooo..." But then--"SPLAT!" The clueless pigeon drops a bird-poo bomb on one brother's head. The silliness continues with a banana-peel pratfall and more bird poo--it's a recipe for a rollicking if low-brow storytime.
