A charming Nature Storybook all about looking after chickens, from master storyteller, Vivian French.

Chickens are not just any regular bird. They are smart, friendly, cuddly and incredibly soft! And if they like you, they might just follow you around. One sunny day while visiting Grandpa, Julie and Bob go out to the yard to see the chickens that live in the little wooden house. Brown feathered Lola, silvery Lulu, and Marvin the noisy rooster are all puttering around. But where is Lottie? She’s nestled cozily in the nest box caring for her eggs. Will Julie and Bob see the adorable chicks hatch before their trip to Grandpa’s is over? Join these siblings as they learn fascinating facts about one of the world’s most beloved farm animals.
