Two books about the carrier pigeon, Cher Ami who saves an American battalion of soldiers.
Fly, Cher Ami, Fly! by Robert Burleigh illustrated by Robert MacKenzie-This book focuses on its flight and the dangers it encountered while delivering the message. Cher Ami is called a boy in this book. Later on it was discovered the pigeon was actually a girl! The next book revealed this fact. Since I read the books back-to-back, I thought one author had made an error. It was interesting to read about the new information discovered.
Cher Ami : Based on the World War I Legend of Fearless Pigeon by Melisande Potter illustrated by Giselle Potter (a mother-daughter team!) This book shares about Cher Ami's training and her life after the war (in addition to her flight to save the men).
*Highly recommend both books.
