Synopsis
Have fun with colours, patterns, and counting in a search-and-match adventure filled with vibrant, colorful illustrations and a bouncy rhyming text.
Every morning, same but new,
hear the COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!
Hens jump down, stretch their legs.
Can you help them find their eggs?
Amid a kaleidoscope of colours, chickens with spots, stripes and zigzags are scritching and scratching and looking for their eggs. There are eggs in a haystack, under a tree, inside a barn, and even tucked in a shoe. Who can help the hens find the eggs that match them before they hatch into chicks? From award-winning New Zealand author-illustrator Ruth Paul comes an energetic concept book that doubles as a celebration of same-but-different creatures everywhere.

Reviews
“An array of different coloured chickens will enthuse younger readers as they look over each exciting, colourful page full of things to find.”ReadPlus, ReadPlus
“This book is chaotic, alive and completely mesmerising. It’s use of colour, horizon, shape and diversity of characters is pure delight. There’s something new to pore over at every page turn, and a veritable feast of illustrations, questions and ideas to follow through. With tactile illustrations that you want to run your fingers over, this book will reward re-reading, re-watching and re-engaging with, every single time. Highly recommended.”Kids Book Review, Kids Book Review
