Description

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.

Promotion info

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

Author description

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.
