Summary: The book opens up with a private investigator pigeon whose partner had left town a while ago and who was not getting as much business as usual. But then one day, one little bird showed up who was persistent on getting the P.I Pigeon to help her found her friends that went missing. At first, the Pigeon did not want to help her but finally gave in and told her to come back the following day. But she did not come back and was not seen for weeks, and the Pigeon suspected that she had been bird-napped. The P.I Pigeon ventures out using any leads he has to find the missing birds. Readers will be super excited to see the plot twist at the end of the book!
Straight Talk for Librarians: This book can be used for children during independent reads while they are just discovering the genre of mystery. The book cover opens up with illustrations and tips of being a spy as the book is about being an investigator. Then the story beings with pictures that give foreshadowing such as pictures of signs that say how birds have been missing and sneak peeks of characters yet to come into play without introducing them yet. The illustrations of rain and the bird slouching around give off a somber and melancholy tone at the start of the book. Then it shows the theme of persistence from the child who is looking for help from the private investigator after being refused multiple times before he finally gave in. Then it gave a surprising rising action when the character that was once neglected and been kidnapped and the pigeon became suspicious and curious about what was going on. The book also uses kid-friendly terms such as bird-napped rather than kid-napped making it less scary for younger readers. The illustrator also uses great images to show other things in the background to show how there is a world around just the detective investigating. And the drawings in darker color and depictions of rain to show a mysterious mood throughout the book.
