Famous Adventure of a Bird- Brained Hen by Jessica Souhami
Henny Penny is so bird-brained that when an acorn falls, BOP! on her head, she thinks the sky must be falling in. She sets out at once to tell the King, collecting her silly friends along the way. But Foxy Loxy is always just ahead and he is hungry...A simple retelling of the much-loved nursery tale, brought bang up-to-date with bright, bold collage illustrations and a short text perfect for reading aloud.
"Jessica Souhami's vibrant and stylish collage illustrations add a touch of sophistication to this enduring story" The Guardian
