An array of different coloured chickens will enthuse younger readers as they look over each exciting, colourful page full of things to find. * ReadPlus * This book is chaotic, alive and completely mesmerising. It’s use of colour, horizon, shape and diversity of characters is pure delight. There’s something new to pore over at every page turn, and a veritable feast of illustrations, questions and ideas to follow through. With tactile illustrations that you want to run your fingers over, this book will reward re-reading, re-watching and re-engaging with, every single time. Highly recommended. * Kids Book Review *
