“
In the middle of the night, a pigeon landed outside Peter’s window in South Brooklyn. He got out of bed to shoo it away, stepping into the kitchen. Alex, sleepy-eyed, asked “What? Did you think there was a pigeon in your kitchen?” When the light bulb went off and the two returned to bed, Alex suggested that Peter write a book. He fell asleep thinking about what that might look like, and the rest was history. Every animal and scenario referenced in this story has truthful origins in the New York City experiences of Peter and others. There’s a Pigeon in My Kitchen! is a journey through the five boroughs, a safari for the reader to encounter all of the creatures one might run into living in the Big Apple.
But I know a place / that’s got them all beat. /A concrete jungle / where lived a boy, Pete.
On Second Avenue, / a missus takes her pet on a walk.
