When her neighbor, Mrs. Krnc, continues feeding mess-making pigeons after she’s been asked to stop, Rachel, her Uncle Benson, and their young friend Brian get busy trying to smooth things over in the neighborhood. In spite of lack-luster line drawings and the too-convenient happy ending, this is a gentle story featuring some well-developed characters.
