Mavis the Bravest - Hardcover by Books by splitShops

Fulfilled by our friends at Books by splitShops

by Lu Fraser (Author), Sarah Warburton (Illustrator)

This is a laugh out loud story about a bonnet wearing, would-rather-be-knitting chicken who embarks on a high stakes chase to save her friend, Sandra the sheep.

Mavis is not like her adventurous friend Marge. Mavis is a chicken who finds EVERYTHING scary (night-time and daytime and anything hairy!). So when the slumbering peace of their cozy barn is disturbed by someone trying to steal their friend Sandra the sheep, will Mavis be able to find her bright spark of braveness and save Sandra?

With a tractor, a lasso, and a lot of hen-durance, Mavis might just have what it takes to be the hero the barn needs.
