Cluck! – The Eggstraordinary Guide to Chickens
Curious, clever, and full of personality—chickens are so much more than meets the eye.
Cluck! is a beautifully illustrated deep dive into the fascinating world of chickens, perfect for children aged 7–9 (and their grown-ups too). From their dinosaur beginnings to the way they think, communicate, and behave today, this book brings a whole new appreciation for these feathered friends.
Part handbook, part visual encyclopaedia, it explores everything from chicken breeds and egg varieties to anatomy, history, and care. Along the way, children will learn how to “speak chicken”, understand their social lives, and discover just how intelligent and expressive they really are.
With intricate linocut-style illustrations and playful, engaging text, Cluck! is the kind of book that invites slow reading, curious questions, and repeated flick-throughs—whether you have backyard chickens or simply love animals.
