This rhyming children's picture book, written by Chris Collin and beautifully illustrated by Megan Kitchin, will delight children and adults alike. Funky Chicken: Chooks in Space is the second book in the Funky Chicken series; following the hilarious best-selling Funky Chicken: A Bushy Tale of Crocs and Chooks.
The story takes the reader on an epic adventure into space in Funky Chicken's rocket ship; hand-made by the chicken and his farmyard friends out of old recycled junk! His mission? An intergalactic search of the Milky Way, in search of extra-terrestrial chickens! As we join the chicken in his wild ride in his rickety rocket, we'll meet strange creatures on even stranger planets, culminating with a gentle message about the importance of family and friends.
This title comes with a QR coded link on the cover where you can download for FREE, audio and video files of the book and song, performed by the author, to an amazing musical composition created especially for this book.
Funky Chicken: Chooks in Space was voted WINNER in the 2016 Speech Pathology Australia Book of the Year Awards and is in the 2017 Queensland (Australia) and Victoria (Australia) Premier's Reading Challenge book list.
Reviews:
'Funky Chicken rockets into space in a whacky planet-hopping new adventure.
Absurd and clever! Brilliant in text and illustration'
(Anastasia Gonis, 'Kids Book Review')
A fantastically fun, funky book! This absurd tale will engage adults and children alike with characters that are wonderfully silly and appealing. The rhyming format encourages children to develop chronological awareness, and the planet names require non-word decoding. Underlying this fun story is the issue of 'what makes a good place to live; which can be the starting point for further discussion with young readers. The strong narrative also brings along themes of identity and belonging, and about having ambition and chasing your dreams. Colourful illustrations support and extend the text, and end page illustrations provide further opportunities for prediction and discussion.
