The Chicken with Pink Toes #14

“‘Oh well,’ said Pippa. ‘Back to normal now.’

And they all traipsed into the hen house together.”

From my new picture-book, co-written with Mollie Macgregor-Kinnis.

“‘What was it like in the house?’ said the other chickens, when Pippa got home.

‘Lovely,’ said Pippa. ‘And I went to the school as well!’

‘Fancy!’ said the chickens.”

“‘Oh dear!’ said Polly. ‘That puddle’s washed all the pink off your toes! What a shame!'”

“So they did. SPLOSH!”

“It was raining at home time. ‘Come on!’ said Polly. ‘Let’s jump in puddles!’”

“And she astounded everyone, at the end of her performance, by laying an egg.”

Pippa was the undisputed star of show and tell.

She sashayed up and down the class, showing off her pink toes for all to see.

‘You’re not taking that chicken to school, are you?’ said Polly’s Mum the next day.

‘Yes,’ said Polly. ‘It’s show and tell!’

‘Whatever next?’ said Polly’s Mum. ‘Here, take an umbrella. I think it’s going to rain.’

From my new picture-book, co-written with Mollie Macgregor-Kinnis.

‘Can Pippa come up to bed with me?’ said Polly at bedtime.

‘Well, okay,’ said her Mum, ‘but only for tonight.’

The Chicken with Pink Toes #5

‘Mercy!’ said Polly’s Mum. ‘What’s that chicken doing in here? And why’s she got pink toes?’

‘Can she stay for tea?’ said Polly.

‘Well, all right,’ said her Mum, ‘but she can’t live here all the time.’
