Have you ever wondered which came first – the chicken or the egg? Get ready for the ultimate showdown in this race to the finish line and, finally, an answer to this age-old philosophical question!

With Chicken’s obvious advantage, Egg’s surprising capabilities, and a pesky Fox with his own agenda, it’s anyone’s guess who will cross the line first. Will Chicken be able to outfox the competition?

But wait, there’s a twist! Egg is hatching and a new runner is about to enter the race!

A laugh-out-loud, action-packed riot of a picture book race between two old rivals from award-winning author Gareth P. Jones, Chicken vs Egg is a must-read for fans of comedy and adventure.
