520			_aThe further adventures of Ben Potter, the 'chicken', the 'beaver' and school projects! Ben's teacher decides that, since Spring holidays have arrived, it's a perfect time to assign a "Bird-Spotting Diary". Although Ben still feels he has the "fussiest mother in the world", this time, it's only in bold lower case letters instead of bold upper case letters. This is an excellent hint that Ben is going to five his mother a break in this tale. Indeed, he does! Although he dreads Spring holidays, because, in his house, it is synonymous with Spring cleaning, it just so happens that this time, his mother's wacky cleaning habits get him just the subject he needs for his bird-spotting diary, a baby pigeon which Mrs. Potter accidentally knocks out of its nest during a cleaning frenzy. Ben gets to keep it until it matures (a mother's guilt knows no bounds!) and we learn more about the care and feeding of 'squeakers' (baby pigeons) than we ever imagined possible. Of course, the infamous 'Billy Bonga' is back with a vengeance...But there is also high drama with danger and suspense and an unexpected rescue. Who could ask for more...
