The President's Glasses

The president has some very important papers to sign at Dublin Castle — but there’s one big problem: he’s forgotten his glasses! Thankfully, the ever-reliable presidential pigeon is on the case. Flying across the bustling streets and landmarks of Dublin, the pigeon embarks on a fast-paced, feather-ruffling adventure to return the missing specs.
