*** review by India
I found this book to be helpful in understanding the events of World War I. Gay-Neck is written in a very interesting way. Part one is about Gay-Neck's life before the war. Part two is about Gay-Neck's training and his help during the war. Gay-Neck is a pigeon who carries messages to and from France. Not only is the book about Gay-Neck the pigeon, it also includes other animals and a young boy who is Gay-Neck's owner. You will read about how the boy felt and you will see beautiful pictures of Gay-Neck and his adventures. One difficult thing is that some may find this book a little wordy. Some people may struggle through this book, but it is very good. To find out all of Gay-Neck's adventures, CHECK OUT THE BOOK!!!
