Description
Grand Prize, Ex aequo - 2000 Luxcanada, illustration, children's book
Most chickens have enough sense to run when a coyote
comes near. Not Emma. She thinks she can outfox a hungry canine despite the warnings of the farmer and his family.
One day the suspense reaches a peak when the hungry coyote comes a little too close. Will Emma's "uncanny good luck" hold out even if her common sense doesn't?
Margriet Ruurs has once again created a hen-house farce that will draw chuckles from fans of this plucky chicken. Barbara Spurll's trademark animal caricatures will delight as they bring this barnyard comedy to life.
