Congrats to Amelia McInerney on her fab picture book
The Book Chook
being a
Notable Book, (Early Childhood category), CBCA Awards 2020
Illustrated by Connah Brecon
Published by Omnibus Books, Scholastic Australia, in hardback
For ages 2 - 8.
A funny, rhyming picture book about a panicky chicken who freaks out when he realises he’s not a real chook, but just a drawing of one in the book. Think Woody Allen meets Foghorn Leghorn.
Themes: self-acceptance, anthropomorphism, humour.
A strong contender for the Shortlist I’d say - good luck and congrats again Amelia!
