All the animals agree that he’s vain and loud and long to see the back of the boastful bird.
Croc has his eye on the chook, determined to enjoy a gourmet meal. Dingo has similar thoughts.
Can Funky Chicken escape the plate?
This is an outstanding and original production, with a CD that children and parents can watch and listen to, or simply read. Narrated by the author, Chris Collin, the pages peel back on the screen as the story evolves. The bold coloured, vibrant illustrations are expressive and funny. I laughed my head off while watching and listening to the rhythm and rhyme accentuated by the accompanying background music. With a strong message on the importance of keeping a low profile, readers will enjoy this book immensely.
A percentage of all sales sold through the website go to several organizations dedicated to improving the lives of children and adults.
