ZELDA'S BIG ADVENTURE

In a playful twist on The Little Red Hen story, Zelda is preparing for her first space flight.

Zelda is a chicken with attitude. When she prepares for her first space flight she leaves nothing to chance and packs food, fuel and a cosy nesting box. All she really needs now is a little help from her friend. Fun to read aloud, and with hilarious illustrations, this entertaining story for the very young features an endearing and resourceful chicken determined to fulfil her dream.
