My Review
Mavis is a hen, confined to her barn by her fear of venturing out into the unknown. Despite the best efforts of her friends, she won’t leave the safety of her perch and her knitting. However, one day, when danger threatens and no-one else is there to fight for justice, she leaps into action, saves the day…..and discovers that the great outside holds less to fear than she thought. With vibrant illustrations and laugh-out-loud moments, this book is a fun way of introducing the topic of fear and how it can hold us back to under fives. Even the most timid of us can find courage when it counts…..Lots of fun!
Heads Up!
This book will make you laugh!
Publisher Review
Mavis is not like her adventurous friend Marge. Mavis is a chicken who finds EVERYTHING scary (night-time and daytime and anything hairy!). So when the slumbering peace of their cosy barn is disturbed by someone trying to steal their friend Sandra the sheep, will Mavis be able to find her bright spark of braveness and save Sandra?
This adorably warm-hearted story is brimful of humour, reassurance – and two exceedingly courageous chickens!
