Do we confuse emotion and love?
Emotions are the clothes. Love is the body. Both are needed, and only one of them changes daily.
Baron Stanislav von Cockadoo
A farmyard story about pride, pecking order, and one egg-straordinary surprise.
Stanislav is proud, posh, and perfectly in charge of his henhouse — until Pecky, a giant Sussex hen with no respect for titles, struts in. A funny, feel-good farmyard tale about pride, pecking order, and one egg-straordinary surprise.
Written by Julie and James Hodson, and illustrated in coloured pencil throughout.
Who it is for
- Children roughly aged four to nine, and the adults reading aloud to them.
- Anyone who enjoys a story where the self-important get their comeuppance kindly.
