YOUNGER FICTION

Come Back, Pigeon!

(4) 1-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Uli Waas. Siblings Flora and Barnaby acquire a pigeon named Jewel and seek advice on her care from their neighbor, old Gabriel, who owns pigeons himself. After Jewel escapes, Flora and Barnaby spend the winter helping Gabriel with his birds and are pleased when Jewel returns in the spring. Cheerful illustrations accompany this pleasant, though somewhat superficial and at times confusing, story.
