Mr Chicken Goes to Paris
Mr Chicken decides to visit his friend Yvette in the City of Love ... but what's in store for this riotous and unforgettable character, and how will the Parisians react? From picture book maestro and former Australian Children's Laureate Leigh Hobbs.
'Joyously colourful, brilliantly observed, hilariously wry, Mr Chicken Goes to Paris is Leigh Hobbs' masterpiece.' Sonya Hartnett. 'There is no end to the delights of this masterpiece.' Maurice Saxby.
The world's most beautiful city meets the world's most startling chicken... Not since Quasimodo has Paris been host to a monster of such charm.
In typical exuberant style, Hobbs takes us abroad with the gentlemanly Mr Chicken, who tours the magnifique sights of Paris, unaware that his enormous top-hatted self is the most astonishing spectacle of all.
Mr Chicken has taken up his friend Yvette's invitation to visit Paris. As they journey together through the City of Love, he is overcome by the magic of all the city has to offer—and the inhabitants of this most stylish city don't quite know what to make of him.
Mr Chicken Goes to Paris introduces yet another unforgettable and riotous character from Leigh Hobbs, who will delight children of all ages.
