About this book

Oh dear - Higgly Hen has lost her chicks! The poor mother chicken gets up from her nest for something to eat - and wouldn't you know it? Her eggs hatch while she's scratching around for food. Higgly Hen embarks on a search of the farm to find her naughty chicks, and finds them in some unexpected places!

This friendly farmyard board book is a must for Scheffler fans. The addition of a fun sound button will amuse toddlers and adds an extra element of play, making it ideal for reading together.

About the author

Axel was born in Hamburg, Germany. At school he was good at art, but didn't think of a career in illustration until he won a cuddly purple cow in a drawing competition. He moved to England in 1982 to study illustration at the Bath Academy of Art, and then set up home in London.

He was the illustrator for Julia Donaldson's first picture book, A Squash and a Squeeze - the start of a hugely successful partnership. Their bestselling modern classic, The Gruffalo, has sold millions of copies. His books have been translated into 42 languages.
