Thank you Andrew McDonald and Random House for sharing this book with the Lit Review Crew in exchange for an honest review. Fans of Aaron Blabey's Bad Guys will love Real Pigeons Fight Crime. I loved the pigeons...they had me rolling...and I loved the short mysteries they had to solve. I also enjoyed the central focus being on Rock, but that the others got a lot of features as well. Such a fun story and look forward to the next books.

Synopsis: Ever wonder why pigeons always act so weird? It’s because they’re out there chasing the bad guys and saving your butts!

Did you know your city is protected by a secret squad of crime-fighting pigeons? It's true! With master of disguise Rock Pigeon, bendy Tumbler, strong Frillback and super-finder Homey, the REAL PIGEONS will solve any mystery and fight any bad guy to keep the city safe!

Perfect for fans of Aaron Blabey's Bad Guys and Dav Pilkey's Dog Man books, the Real Pigeons series is a hilariously silly and highly visual introduction to the joys of reading and crime-fighting for readers 6+.

In Real Pigeons Fight Crime, Rock and his mystery-solving friends will tackle their first caseload: Why have all the breadcrumbs disappeared? Who on earth is kidnapping bats? And can the pigeons avert a dinner disaster??

Review: Oh my goodness this book is such a fun read! It’s great for younger kids and it’s so clever with the little mysteries! Definitely a great starter read if your little one is inquisitive and intuitive. The book is very graphic heavy, which is great for beginning chapter readers and reluctant ones too. This book is also hilarious and it has a great conclusion to it as well.

Verdict: Definitely a must read for younger mystery lovers!

Delightful and sweet! Could be nice for a mystery unit, and really nice level for younger humans.

A humorous, three-part story about crime fighting pigeons. This would be a great book to transition from graphic novels.
