This was a big fail. The title and concept are hilarious so I had high hopes but the story just didn't make it. It just kind of meandered on and then the ending doesn't make sense. Skip this one.

This is a cute enough book. I love the pictures of the pigeons close-up. Their blank look reminds me of the way chickens look at one.
The story is a quick one. Girl misses animals after she moves to New York, so she starts feeding the pigeons, who proceed to do what all birds do, because they don't have sphincter muscles, which drive the people below her apartment to shout their advice to stop here "Stop feedin' da boids!"
So, she decides to get obsessed with fish after that.
So, three stars for the cute pigeons, and expressive illustrations, but other than that, a rather bland book.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

A little girl that moved to the city and missed animals. So she started feeding pigeons and they caused a big mess. Wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be but still an enjoyable book.

Humorous look at life in the city with pigeons and people in opposition with cartoonish illustrations. There is an amazing spread of scores of pigeons.

A simple little story, the illustrations are very unique with a more surrealist cast than anything else, the setting is delightfully drawn.

2.5 stars.
Unfortunately, this one wasn't a winner in my book. The illustrator could draw vibrant pictures and lovely pigeons, but was less good at drawing people. The story had the potential to be cute, but the combination of the writing and the pictures left it rather flat, in my opinion.

J'aime beaucoup les illustrations, les pigeons, la ville (un peu moins les persos mais c'est personnel)
Toutefois, il m'a manqué un petit élément pour que l'histoire soit vraiment palpitante.

The story was a little confusing, and I can only assume that maybe a page or two was missing. I'm not really sure how it resolves itself.
The tone of the illustrations was a little too dark, and I wasn't a fan of the way the people were drawn.
Overall, it didn't really do it for me.
