“A glorious riot of eggstravant claims and subverted expectations” – The Guardian“a book that flows wonderfully well and will bear repeating not just once or twice but over and over again … [the] illustrations show the hens to perfection, with the facial expressions in some of the pictures being well worth the price on the back cover on their own.” – World’s Smallest Library"I particularly loved how the reader feels part of the story and chaos. A brilliantly written and designed book.” – My Shelves Are Full“A zany and fun read aloud … wonderfully different, this book will suit children and adults with a good sense of the ridiculous.” – Irish Independent“Hilarious wordplay makes Jenny Peckles Lays Eggs with Speckles perfect for a class read aloud” – Scope for Imagination
