The Greedy Pigeon is a collection of fantasy poems beautifully illustrated by Grace Horne. Allow me to share one of the poems with you to give you an idea:

The Curious Little Hedgehog

A curious little hedgehog was looking for a meal,
When it fell into a dustbin with a little squeal.
As it lay upon the rubbish it found some lovely food
Which it gobbled up most greedily saying "This is good!"
Along came the dustman and put it in his cart
So, next time your feeling hungry, think before you start!

This small book of moral and comic verses might make a delightful gift for any young child.
