Chicken, Pig, Cow On the Move
Description
Chicken, Pig and Cow are looking for a change. The popsicle-stick barn Girl built for them is great, but sometimes it gets just a little too crowded.
So off they go in search of a new house. They soon discover that nestling among fuzzy slippers in the closet is too 鈥渓inty,鈥� and living under the furniture is too scary! What about Girl鈥檚 dollhouse? There鈥檚 lots of space and they all get their own room鈥擟hicken鈥檚 even has TV. But what seemed perfect turns out to be a lot less desirable than the comforts of home. Maybe their jam-packed barn isn鈥檛 so bad after all ...
With her simple, humorous style and expressive illustrations, Ruth Ohi brings Chicken, Pig, Cow (and Dog!) back for a second toddler-friendly instalment chronicling the everyday adventures of these lovable characters.
