Six Little Chicks

Jez Alborough is the author and illustrator of over 45 books for children. His Eddy and the Bear trilogy (which began with the much loved Where's My Teddy in 1992) has sold nearly four and a half million copies and was made into an award winning animated television series. Duck in the Truck (published in 1999) heralded the start of another bestselling series, this time featuring the irrepressible Duck and his three friends - Frog, Goat and Sheep. There are currently nine books in the Duck series (1.2 million copies sold), including Duck's Key Where Can It Be? which won the Child magazine Best of the Year Award. In 2000 Jez created Hug - a powerful and touching book of only three words about a baby chimpanzee called Bobo who loses his Mom, chosen by Oprah Winfrey for her recommended reading list. Bobo went on to star in two more classics; Tall ( which along with Hug won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Book Award ) and Yes. The series has sold 1.76 million copies.

This exciting new book from the popular author of "Duck In The Truck" is perfect for encouraging early reading and is packed with interactive words that will have every child fully immersed in the story. Busy Hen has five little chicks to look after whilst also ensuring that egg number 6 stays warm. But when a hairy, scary fox comes sniffing around she fears for all of their lives, can they find a way to make him go away? The rhythmic, rhyming text just begs to be read aloud by both children and their parents.

A lovely, heart-warming Easter tale of six courageous chicks from the multi-million-selling Jez Alborough. The rhythmic, rhyming text begs to be read aloud.
