Six Little Chicks

Busy Hen has five little chicks to look after while making sure number six - still an egg - stays warm. The last thing she needs is hairy, scary Fox sniffing about. She is frantic when the other birds warn her that her chicks are in danger, but her five little chicks are a lot braver than she realises!

From the author of HUG and DUCK IN THE TRUCK, this rollicking, rhythmic Easter text is rammed with catchy refrains that beg to be shouted out. Children will love the repeated action words and thinking of new ways to act them out.

Reviews

With the Easter celebration soon to be with us, this charming heart warming tale will delight children, as it is full of bright artwork telling us about the funny energy fuelled story of six courageous chicks.

—— South Wales Evening Post

Dramatic (and) funny ... it’s a winner for children aged 2+

—— Amanda Craig , The Times

Jez Alborough gives Chick Lit a good name....The book has a bright, jolly and yet predatory feel. The chicks are intensely yellow and the fox has fearsome green eyes – dreaming of a snappy Easter.

—— Kate Kellaway , The Guardian

beautiful illustrations and a bouncy rhyming text

—— Sarah Kingsford , The Sunday Express

This beautifully illustrated, rhyming tale uses repetition of words and movements that small children will love to mimic.

—— Booktrust

Frog is having "one of those days" and he's not afraid to tell everyone. As long as things are going frog's way, we'll all be ok, but when they aren't, we're all inn for it! This delightfully discombobulated frog has emotional challenges and this book is about learning to deal with them. Despite his disdainful surface demeanour, deep down Frog is nothing but charming, and little readers will be chortling with laughter as they join him in learning how to embrace difference and manage emotions

—— WRD About Books

Vere's signature vibrant colours and thick black lines brilliantly accompany the dynamic text, touching on some difficult themes with lightness and zeal... this is a great example of a humorous anthropomorphic picture book working perfectly as a platform to showcase some very serious issues.

—— Library Mice

This deftly told story shows how important it is to say sorry, and to compromise - and how that will get rid of the grumps in the best possible way.

—— Parents in Touch

A fabulously colourful tale of compromise, tolerance and realising your own shortcomings. It's a story that invites children to acknowledge their own emotions and embrace their own weaknesses.

—— Picture Books Blogger

A hilarious book with a twist in the tale about getting, and getting rid of, the grumps, Grumpy Frog subtly teaches the importance of being kind to all.

—— Parent Talk

Bestselling author and illustrator Ed Vere is back with a new picture book. Grumpy Frog follows the amphibian as he learns about compromise, friendship and the power of analogy. He may even manage to get rid of his grumpiness!

—— Baby London

The lilting text and gorgeous spreads of snowy landscapes in pastel shades, with touches of bolder colours, create a magical atmosphere that is perfect for this carefully crafted fairy tale. The story gently touches on themes of self-perception and facing your fears. This is a stunningly beautiful debut picture book from two sisters who first discovered a love of stories and fables through the tales told to them by their Polish grandmother.

—— Carousel

It's a classic in the making, real new talent, original, and set in a perfect fairy tale world. What more could you want from a bedtime story?

—— It's All About Stories

Had I owned this book as a little girl, I would have read it over and over, looking for hidden details.
