I just read the cutest children’s book called Perry the Pigeon and the Case of The Missing Scones, by Jan Soolman. This book came for me to review at the perfect time, as I will be heading to London myself in a couple weeks. The book takes places in London and begins with a poor baker named Thomas Goodheart that makes the best baked goods in the city, but because he’s so new and has a small bakery nobody notices his shop. He is behind on rent, and really needs to start making money to keep his bakery open! The baker’s friend, Perry the Pigeon, tells him about a local contest for bakers and urges him to enter. He would be able to get money to keep his bakery and catch up on rent, which is exactly what he needed. He decided he would enter, but on the morning of the contest his delicious scones were missing and he had no ingredients left or time to make new ones! Who stole the scones? Perry the Pigeon was on a mission to find out. I can’t tell you how it ends, so you’ll just need to read it yourself! You can even have your kids read it to each other! I loved that my daughter could read this aloud to my son!
Things I Love About this Book:
1. Very cute storyline and the characters come to life!
2. Great for readers just starting chapter books; my 8-year old daughter loved it!
3. I loved the idea of the mystery aspect, which kept my daughter wanting to read more
4. The illustrations are super cute and a great addition to the story
5. I also truly loved the references to places in London, along with the end of the book which highlights and describes places in London to visit (including the Tower Bridge, Queen Elizabeth II, Buckingham Palace, The Queen’s Guard, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, The House of Parliament, The London Eye, Trafalgar Square, the Underground, and Double Decker Buses).
It was cute to have a book to share with my kids about where mommy will be for work soon! And after reading about these places they want to visit London someday soon too!
This book is 58 pages, and I just love the story! It’s available on Amazon right now for $9.99 and Free Super Saver Shipping!
