All his friends thought Sid, the pigeon, very uppity indeed. He lived in the loop of a huge B in an electric sign up on a skyscraper in San Francisco. The view of the bay was magnificent, and besides, the warmth from the lights in the sign kept him cozy and protected him from the chill wind.

Sid may have been a little lonely, because he asked a lovely dove, Midge, to share his home. They were very happy together, contentedly picking up crumbs scattered in the park by a kind old man—or flying in glorious swoops high over the bay and low over the water.

But one morning, while Midge was taking her turn sitting on two eggs, and Sid had gone to the park as usual, for his breakfast, disaster struck!

How all ends happily is told in story and beautiful pictures that give the reader a true feeling of the sweep of the sky and sea, and wide views of the fabulous Golden Gate City.
