This lovely book introduces us to Shelly Hen and, with the help of a little boy who describes it all beautifully, takes us through a day in her life.

Shelly hangs out with her flock, searches for bugs and tasty herbs to eat, has a dustbath (to shake off those pesky mites), and finally heads into her cosy coop for the night, waking up early to lay an egg, which our young narrator has for breakfast. It concludes with a trail-type quiz based on facts from the story, where young readers match words and pictures.

Then come two further information pages with paragraphs on ‘Happy hens’, ‘Tasty eggs’ and ‘Chatty chickens’. The text is as chatty as the chickens and full of information, delivered im-peck-ably to appeal to its audience. Shelly is a real character in Julia Groves’ bright, lively illustrations and so are her feathered friends. This is part of an egg-cellent series informing youngsters on where their food comes from.
