My students love learning about birds. We are going to participate in a special lesson all about pigeons and I would love for each of my students to be able to have their very own copy of the book, The Real Poop on Pigeons. In this book, a man shoos away a couple of cooing "rats with wings," only to be confronted by a group of kids in pigeon costumes bearing interesting facts about the maligned birds. Through a series of panels and full spreads, readers learn that before the invention of airplanes, pigeons carried mail; that they are faster than a car; that they mate for life; and that they come in a wide variety of breeds, some of which are quite fancy, such as the Victoria Crowned, named for Queen Victoria. There are a lot of pigeons in New York City and I would love for my students to have a deeper appreciation of pigeons after reading this book!
