A chicken counting book egg-straordinaire!
Book Description
Ruth-May has a new hobby: chickens. And she is completely hooked! She starts out with just two, but in no time at all, she has 16 chickens to cuddle and count, morning, noon and night. Ruth-May is deliriously happy, but the chickens . . . well, that's a different matter. Fed up to the back beak with being cuddled and coddled, they escape to the park and teach Ruth-May an important lesson. If you really love something, you have to set it free . . . and that applies to chickens too!

A former bookseller, Simon has been a full-time writer for over three years and has swiftly established himself as an exciting new voice in children's publishing. His first book for Macmillan, MADEMOISELLE GORILLA (ISBN 1 405 02035 0) was illustrated by Nicola Slater and was swiftly followed by his first collaboration with Ross Collins – WILD-WEST WINNIE (ISBN 1 405 03451 3), a comic story of love in the Wild West.
It's over ten years since Ross Collins won the Macmillan Prize for Illustration, and he has since become a well-known illustrator with many best-selling books to his name. His witty illustrations perfectly catch the humour and drama of Simon's texts, making this creative partnership one to look out for.
