“She looked through the fence pales wanting to explore. She had all she needed but just wanted more!”

Sooty is an adventurous chicken who longs to experience life beyond the backyard and no fence will stop her. Trampolines, sunhats and shopping adventures aren’t out of bounds for this cheeky chicken, but what if the fence is there for a reason?

Sooty & Snow is an entertaining cautionary tale based on the true story of two loveable hens. This fun and colourful story follows the entertaining antics of Sooty the chicken and is a good reminder of why we have rules and boundaries.

Will Sooty realise the fence is there to keep her safe and that home really is best?

This a wonderful book for kids who love chickens, and mischief and might need a little reminder that the grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence.
Best for ages 2-7.

Customer Reviews *****

“This is a fun easy to read rhyming story that takes you on Sooty’s escaping the yard adventures. Sooty demonstrates determination and problem solving while making her way out of the yard. In the end Sooty learns the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. I love how this book is based on a true story and there are real photos of Sooty and Snow at the end of the book.” - Jennifer

“I just loved this story and so did my children. Of course, their favorite part was towards the end when Sooty, well… she lost a few feathers. 😂 Lots of giggles! I just love this author’s whole series. Highly recommend!” - Katie

“I enjoyed this book! Sooty & Snow is a gentle cautionary tale for kids. Sooty the hen has taken to the notion that "fun" only happens outside the boundaries of her home. She quickly learns that home is the best place to be because "home" is where she is loved and protected. Sooty & Snow is an entertaining story (the tale is in rhyme), but it also provides a teachable moment for parents (or teachers) and their children. The illustrations are delightful.” - David
