Gay Neck: The Story of a Pigeon by Dhan Gopal Mukerji

1.0

This was the 1928 Newbery Honor Winner. I really wanted to like this book and it started off ok, it just got boring pretty quick and continued being boring. I thought that when the book was going to discuss the use of carrier pigeons in WWI would be interesting, but it wasn't. At least not how they talked about it in this book. I can't imagine any child liking this book, especially with the name of the title. Joe teased me mercilessly about reading a book about "gay necks", and he's an adult. So I can only imagine what teasing kids would do!
