ocean is a dangerous place: she must battle toothy birds and a giant, hungry sea monster. Will Chicken's new family survive? When she finally gets home with her bounty, she discovers a worrying scene. Perhaps the real danger is inside her house...

This is a delightful wordless book. The illustrations that tell the story are fantastic, as is the hardcover and binding. My only quandry is what do they call their child; a ficken, a chickox? My absolutely favourite page is the last one, roast sea monster anyone? Very well done, sure to be loved by many.

Surreal, wild, love this even more than the first book.  Love the small horizontal book design - it'll make it easy to see in the library if more in the series are published.
