Cute easy graphic novel. Young boy escapes and runs through the (NY?) city chasing pigeons. Panels, noise sounds, cute. Another candidate for an EZ GN section. ;)

We've been going through a few of those new Toon Books, and they're actually a welcome change from the ancient early readers that we otherwise typically manage to find at the library (as good as [b:Henry and Mudge: The First Book|820863|Henry and Mudge The First Book (Henry and Mudge, #1)|Cynthia Rylant|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347231275s/820863.jpg|1589622] may be). This one is really easy, mostly very basic words, but there's also quite a bit of onomatopoeia. There isn't much to the story: a little boy wanders away from his daddy, chasing pigeons, creating quite the implausible ruckus in the process. It's not terribly creative, but illustrated in a nice european cartoon style it's an agreeable read and my four year old got through it before it started to bore him the least. In one of the frames I spotted Captain Haddock, from [b:Tintin|165555|The Crab With the Golden Claws|Hergé|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328086778s/165555.jpg|185664], so after thinking "can that be?" I went back and scanned through the whole book, spotting three more classic cartoon characters that I had missed earlier (I had just been looking over my son's shoulder as he read), that's sort of a nice touch too! These Toon Books are definitely good picks for the emerging reader.

Beginning graphic novel. Kids will enjoy reading the adventures of Luke as he chases after pigeons in the NY City neighborhoods.

I'm not sure I think the underlying message of this book is worthwhile to have in our collection.

F&P level K. As a mom, I didn’t like this book because I felt like it was teaching my preschooler that running away from Dad in the park is fun and safe. But my son liked it.

Yaah! A cute chasey tale of a boy who follows pigeons flapping their way across New York, leaving chaos in their wake. Enjoyed the cameo appearances by Tintin characters!

You don’t have to cut to the chase scene in this short comic. It’s all chase scene. A toddler takes off after a flock of pigeons in Manhattan, chases them over the East River to Brooklyn, where he finally falls asleep with them atop a water tower.
