From Booklist:

Ages 2^-5. In this sequel to Hilda Hen's Search (1994), the hen starts out her birthday in a receptive mood and finds gifts in unexpected places. When she discovers a basket of oats, Hilda decides that the horse has left her a present, so she helps herself. A flower garden? It's a dust bath arranged for her pleasure, once she has scraped the flowers out of her way. And surely the tea and cookies on the grass beside the snoozing farmer are meant for a birthday treat! Children will enjoy the simple story, the gentle humor, and the appealing illustrations. The linocut prints' heavy, black lines give a luminous quality to the colors in Wormell's distinctive illustrations. A pleasure to read aloud. Carolyn Phelan
