The Chicken Thief

31st March 2015

In this wordless story that is both funny and sweet, a fox steals a hen away from her home. Bear, rabbit and rooster give chase, but in a twist on the usual childrens story, this fox is not a villain. A funny and life-affirming tale, The Chicken Thief defies expectations, enlivening the mind with its cleverness while going straight for the heart. This intelligent and charming book is great for all ages. A love story, a road movie, and a playful speculation on stereotypes and misconceptions.
