Perfect for reading aloud at bedtime or during Easter celebrations, Five Little Chicks is a lift-the-flap picture book that follows a mother hen and her chicks on a countryside walk. Created by UK author Lily Murray and Scottish illustrator Holly Surplice, it brings a classic nursery rhyme to life.
Five little chicks went out one day Over the hills and far away. Mamma Hen said, Hurry back to me! Now how many chicks can you see? Join this fluffy little family on a beautiful walk through the countryside. There's so much to see as Mamma Hen and her brood wind through a flowery meadow, a bluebell wood, a field full of lambs and a busy farmyard. Along the way, they meet all kinds of baby animals and their parents. But wait - the chicks are disappearing one by one... Whatever are they up to? Lift the flaps to find the chicks and discover a fantastic surprise ending. Based on the nursery rhyme 'Five Little Ducks', this lift-the-flap picture book is perfect for sharing at Easter or Mother's Day.
