Something Wonderful is Something Special.....

Poor Little Hen. She's not a prize winning fowl like her coopmates, Biddie, Lily, Rosie, and Gertie. She's just small and ordinary. But as Mrs Field, the farmer's wife tells her, "Don't be sad because you're small...Small creatures can do wonderful things." And though the other chickens laughed when she told them, right then and there Little Hen decided she was going to do something wonderful. It wasn't long before she got her chance. One very hot summer day the chickens strutted into the cool woods to lay their eggs in a shady nest. They all walked away and forgot about them, all except Little Hen..... Jenny Nimmo has written a sweet and endearing story with a gentle message that will warm the hearts of young and old alike. Her simple and easy to read text makes this a great read aloud book at story time, and is complemented by Debbie Boon's charming, colorful and expressive artwork. Perfect for little ones 3-7, Something Wonderful is a joyous, engaging story with a happily-ever-after ending, reminding youngsters that each and every one of us is special and capable of something wonderful.
