Join Luke on this hilarious escapade filled with unexpected twists and vibrant city life.
From the publisher
“Bliss has created an ideal graphic novel for emerging readers…The cartoon panels are so successful at engaging readers that young children do not have to be able to read the text to enjoy the story. Each drawing is filled with humorous details. In one scene children see a man proposing to his girlfriend before Luke leaps over his cafe table. Though he creates havoc wherever he goes, he remains oblivious to everything but the pigeons he is chasing. Children will enjoy his rambunctious adventure as he takes them on a spirited tour of New York City.”–School Library Journal Luke looks on at the pigeons in Central Park, while Dad is lost in “boring Daddy talk,” and before you know it–LUKE IS ON THE LOOSE! He’s free as a bird, on a hilarious solo flight through New York City.
