Henry and the Fox by Chris Wormell
Cockerels are usually bossy and self-important, but not Henry. Henry is a cowardly cockerel who won't even say 'poo!' to a piglet, and his crowing is awful. Luckily for Henry, little Buffy Bantam, his only friend in the whole wide world, has come up with a brilliant plan and with just a damp red sock and a red woolly jumper, the pair set out to convince the other hens that Henry is, in fact, a brave and fearless hero. But brilliant plans don't always go just the way they're supposed to...Will Henry manage to conquer his fears and save the day?
"Wormell's elegant illustrations add a classic feel to this gentle tale" Junior "Highly recommended for KS1 children, who will find huge enjoyment in both story and pictures" The School Librarian "Pictures and text are finely tuned in this book to successfully paint a portrait of a frail character who will win out in the end" -- Alison Boyle Nursery World "Slyly humourous poultry parable from the delightful Chris Wormell" -- Frances Perkins Bournemouth Daily Echo
