Dave Pigeon (Turkey Dinner!)
Make room on the shelves for this and other “Dave Pigeon” books.
A strong choice for collections seeking to broaden cultural representation while connecting to familiar themes of childhood independence and inclusion.
Not recommended for purchase. Although the initial set-up is clever, the glib treatment undermines its emotional resonance, turning a potentially rich topic into a one-note joke.
