Julia Eccleshare's comment:
Set against stunning illustrations of a beautiful farming background, Henry and the Fox is a book about being brave. Henry’s a cowardly cockerel who can’t even say boo to a goose. One day, he decides to change his ways: Henry and his friend Buffy the bantam devise a clever plan which will make it look as if Henry is brave enough to see off the fox. Several mishaps later, Henry finds that he really does save the hen from the fox . Now he can cock-a-doodle doo to his heart’s content!
