Nine reasons to buy 'Pigeons: Stories in the Post, Volume II'
- Books make the best presents, and stories co-written by authors and children make the best books.
- There are forty-two (forty-two!) contributing authors.
- For $22 you get 21 stories. That's around $1.05 a story. That's a bargain.
- It has many evil geniuses, including, but not limited to: a rock intent on world-domination, a science teacher who can't dance, a soiled nappy-shooting mastermind, a swarm of sugar-crazed wasps, and one regular old evil guy.
- Three of the stories are actually comics. Or put another way, eighteen of the comics are actually entirely devoid of pictures.
- The stories are accompanied by excerpts from the letters that the authors and students posted to each other discussing how the stories would be written – kind of like a director's commentary option in a DVD extras menu, but paper-based.
- Proceeds from the sale of the book go back into supporting Pigeons programs.
- The story titles in this book are better than the story titles in any other book. Here are just a few examples: 'Y-front Jocks and Footy', 'Odie and the Exploding Toilet', 'Generation Nappy', 'Super Cat vs. the Evil Guy'.
- Did we mention the bit about proceeds raised going back into our literacy programs?
