About the book

Synopsis

Busy Hen has five little chicks to look after while making sure number six - still an egg- stays warm. The last thing she needs is hairy, scary Fox sniffing about. She is frantic when the other birds warn her that her chicks are in danger, but her five little chicks are a lot braver than she realises!

The rollicking rhythmic text is rammed with catchy refrains that beg to be shouted out. Children will love the repeated action words and thinking of new ways to act them out.

What the critics say

With the Easter celebration soon to be with us, this charming heart warming tale will delight children, as it is full of bright artwork telling us about the funny energy fuelled story of six courageous chicks.
- South Wales Evening Post

Dramatic (and) funny ... it’s a winner for children aged 2+
- The Times

Jez Alborough gives Chick Lit a good name....The book has a bright, jolly and yet predatory feel. The chicks are intensely yellow and the fox has fearsome green eyes – dreaming of a snappy Easter.
- The Guardian

beautiful illustrations and a bouncy rhyming text
- The Sunday Express

This beautifully illustrated, rhyming tale uses repetition of words and movements that small children will love to mimic.

About the Author

Jez Alborough was born and grew up in Kingston-upon-Thames. He loved drawing and painting from an early age and always wanted to be an artist. He graduated with a BA Honours degree in Graphic Design, and started to look for illustration work.

After college Jez found some work doing editorial illustrations for magazines, but not enough to live on. It was when he realised that he could illustrate his own stories that some doors started to open.

Jez has written and illustrated over forty picture books; including the Eddy and the Bear series (WHERE'S MY TEDDY, IT'S THE BEAR and MY FRIEND BEAR) which were turned into a Bafta award winning television series, the bestselling Bobo books (HUG, TALL and YES) and the DUCK IN THE TRUCK series.
