Hilda Hen's Search
(Gollancz)
978-0575060968, RRP £3.99, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Hilda's search for the right place to lay her eggs, and the disappointment and indignity she suffers again and again, is beautifully depicted in Mary Wormell's powerful lino-cut illustrations. Her eventual success is bizarre but somehow perfectly satisfying - yes, this is a really satisfying book which will be enjoyed by the youngest toddler to the most worldly wise member of Year Two.
