"An eggs-eptionally funny and engaging story about some unusually clever hens."
April 2025 Picture Book of the Month
The hens on Old Worrall’s Farm are a special bunch of chickens, and not – despite what we’re first told – because of the dazzling nature of their eggs.
No, Jenny Peckles doesn’t lay eggs with speckles any more than Featherley Botts lays eggs with spots, or Chuckleston Barclay lays eggs that are sparkly. They are good at rhymes though, and even better at defending themselves when danger looms.
This rhyming story is eggs-eptionally funny and engaging, full of twists and surprises that young children will love. With their clever rhymes and no-nonsense approach to the author, these chickens deserve to be immortalised in a book!
