Synopsis
In a town in Italy during World War II the people have surrendered without firing a shot. But American warplanes are due to arrive, and the radio's broken, so no one can tell them to call off the attack! G. I. Joe, a carrier pigeon, is the only one who can take the message to the Americans. Will he make it in time and save the town?

From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3-This early reader tells the true story of a World War II homing pigeon, G. I. Joe, and the important messages he carried through enemy lines to save an Italian town. For his brave mission, the bird received a medal from the Lord Mayor of London and finished out his life in the comfort of the Detroit Zoo. Brief author notes give some additional information on the use of pigeons during war. The simple, accessible language occasionally detracts from the action ("Flap, flap, flap. The hawk did not catch him"). The watercolor-pencil illustrations show appropriate period details and give G. I. Joe a perky, alert look befitting his hero status. For collections that need nonfiction beginning readers, this one will be a useful addition.
