Big Fat Hen

A hen counts to ten with her chicks.

What a HELPFUL hen the Big Fat Hen wants to be! So, when Hairy Goat says, "I want a juicy green cabbage for my breakfast!" she happily opens the gate to Farmer Tile's garden, where lots and lots of cabbages grow. But then Spotty Pig and Brown Cow come in, too--and they won't stop munching. Soon all the cabbages will be gone. Can Big Fat Hen stop them before it's too late?

A hilarious read-aloud favorite about some foolish farm animals who decide to trade roles—and discover just how hard it is to do someone else's job, from award-winning author Lester L. Laminack and celebrated illustrator Henry Cole. The Tuckers' farm is a peaceful place where everyone has a job and no one complains. That is, until a hapless peacock falls off the back of a passing truck and stirs things up. Soon, customers are flocking to the farm to see what all the fuss is about. But the hens don't like the newcomer getting attention while they do all the hard work. When a wise old hound sees the problem, he helps orchestrate a job swap. What follows is the riotous tale of three hens who get in way over their feathered heads, and one very distressed peacock who just can't figure out how to lay an egg. Lester L. Laminack has created a comical look at envy, finding your strength, and what happens when we underestimate the value of others' work. Henry Cole's delightful illustrations heighten the story's humor and will have readers of all ages laughing out loud.

The Big Fat Hen is back--and still trying to help! So when Red Rooster tells her that it's hard work waking up the farmyard every day, she decides to take over. But the good-hearted hen doesn't know WHEN it's time to rouse everyone--and soon she's telling them all "Wake up!" even though the moon's still bright in the sky. Kids will laugh out loud at her delightful antics.
