Age range 3 to 6

A little boy watches Shelly Hen as she feeds on bugs in the grass, chats to her friends, and settles down in the nesting box to lay an egg.

Complete with a fun quiz and information section, this book is intended to show very young children where eggs come from and how chickens live.

The bright illustrations and short bursts of clear text make this a good book to use in EYFS to help explain where our food comes from. - School Librarian
