Reviews

Ages 4^-8. Percy, a blue pigeon wearing a jaunty red neckerchief, flies around the tourist sites of London each day. He goes for a ride on the hands of the clock on Big Ben, sits on a lion in Trafalgar Square, and communes each day with a cheerful, eccentric lady named Matilda. When two boys become stranded on an island in a park lake, Percy tries to help them by delivering a message describing their plight. Unfortunately, he has a hard time getting anyone to notice the note he is carrying. Clearly written by an American tourist rather than a British writer, this is sweetly old-fashioned both in words and in watercolors and will make an acceptable additional purchase. Susan Dove Lempke
