Publisher Review

"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
