Featherbrains
Flossie and Bessie are accidentally released by Jack(daw) from their battery cage. At first they find the world outside strange-how can you walk on the ground when there's no wire to hold on to?-and want to go back to their 20,000 companions in the battery shed. But with the help of the worldly-wise Jack, they discover what it's like to be real chickens. John Yeoman uses humour and irony in this entertaining exposé of factory farming, egged on by Quentin Blake, whose scruffy and na$iUve hens are a treat to behold.
