A Review By Frances

This is a follow up book to “The Chicken Thief” and follows the same formula – a wordless picture book. Three friends, a chicken, a rabbit and a bear setting off by boat for an adventure.  Only the chicken does not really want to go and sits glowering at the back of the little craft.  The trio go through turbulent storms and finally land in a very strange place full of bones, bats, mysterious caves and luminous mushrooms.  The naughty chicken steals a glowing orb and runs away, closely chased by the rabbit and the bear.  What happens next unfolds through these brilliant illustrations with a funny twist at the end.  A delightful book, ideal for sharing from about age three right up to seven or eight year olds.
