Synopsis

A gorgeous story about accepting differences from the creator of Wanted: The Perfect Pet and The Perfect Present. Cuckoo is a bit different from all the other chicks. They too-woo-weet but he cuckoos! So he goes in search of a new home - but the sheep, frogs and cows don't understand him either. Will he ever find someone who is just like him?

Fiona Roberton's universally appealing style is reminiscent of Oliver Jeffers and bound to win her many young fans. Praise for The Perfect Pet: 'It is a hoot.' The Times
