Dave Pigeon #4
Dave Pigeon (Royal Coo!)
Dave Pigeon and his best friend Skipper are taking in the sights of London. Whilst pecking around the gates of the Royal Palace, looking for high-brow snacks to feast on, they meet Prince Raju Pigeon, one of the Queen's personal birds from the Royal Lofts.
Raju is tired of royal life and longs to see life beyond the palace gates. Dave suggests they swap places for a short while! Raju will get to see how normal pigeon lives and Dave will be pampered in the Royal Lofts.
Of course, this all goes to Dave's head and as he laps up the royal treatment becoming more unbearable than ever. But life in high society is not all it's cracked up to be . . .

Dave has heard that there are great crumbs near the Human Palace after a big party there. They head over only to discover in a run-in with the Royal Pigeon that Dave and the Prince look an awful lot alike. The Prince is tired of his full schedule and would love a day as a commoner, while Dave wouldn't mind some royal treats. But is either prepared when they switch places for the day?
A little play on Twain's The Prince and the Pauper with pigeons. It is done with the usual humor you expect from a Dave Pigeon book. Hand this to humor lovers and those who think they'd love to be royalty for a day.

TW: physical book: none audiobook: possibly offensive accents
I love these books and do enjoy them in audiobook format, however I did have to switch to the physical book for this one. As far as I could tell, the audiobook narrator is white, but he does a "Apu" accent for Kapi, the king's servant. Made me very uncomfortable.

Dave and Skipper continue to be a brilliant comedy pairing. This is so much fun.
