Summary

Five little chicks went out one day; Over the hills and far away. Mamma Hen said, "Hurry back to me!" Now how many chicks can you see? Join this fluffy little family on a beautiful walk through the countryside. There's so much to see as Mamma Hen and her brood wind through a flowery meadow, a bluebell wood, a field full of lambs and a busy farmyard. Along the way, they meet all kinds of baby animals and their parents. But wait - the chicks are disappearing one by one. Whatever are they up to? Lift the flaps to find the chicks and discover a fantastic surprise ending. Based on the nursery rhyme 'Five Little Ducks', this lift-the-flap picture book is perfect for sharing at Easter or Mother's Day.
