Illustrated by
Pierre Pratt.
When Swanda moves to Brooklyn, she misses wildlife. She puts a bird feeder on the fire escape--good for her, good for the pigeons, bad for her neighbors, who don't appreciate all the pigeon poop. It's an endearing yarn, complete with a deliciously foreboding ending. Pratt's cozy urban neighborhood recalls that of great twentieth-century illustrator Bernard Waber, this time with a multiethnic cast.
