Don't Feed the Coos

Don't Feed the Coos

Summary

A hilarious, ridiculous, darkly comic story about what can happen when you feed one single pigeon . . .

The dynamic team behind Llama Destroys the World return with a laugh-out-loud tale about the dangers of . . . feeding pigeons!

When you see a coo, you will be tempted to give it a treat.
Coos are adorable, peaceful, kind of silly.
But DON'T FEED THE COO!
If you feed one, they will ALL COME . . .

So begins a cautionary tale of what happens when one little girl shares some bread with a coo (a.k.a. a pigeon). From the park to karate practice to home, the coos follow our plucky heroine as she discovers that even the biggest problem can be solved with a little determination.
