Books for children

Squawking and panicking, she chases after her precious about-to-be chick as it bounces past the farm animals. All ends well as the clutch break through their eggshells with a chorus of chicken-song. Great rhymes and laugh-aloud illustrations, perfect fun for age two and upwards.

Daisy’s Big Dig by Angie Morgan (Frances Lincoln; €14.92 HB) is the story of a girl who lives on a street where all the neighbours keep to themselves. When old Mr Heifeister hurts his back and can’t tend his garden, Daisy motivates the neighbourhood to help. Thus the whole street becomes a happy place. The line and collage illustrations are the perfect style for this wholesome story. Six and up.
