Bin Chicken and the Christmas Turkey by Kate & Jol Temple. Ill. by Ronojoy Ghosh.
Ibis (affectionately known as Bin Chicken) has had enough of the noise and crowds of the city at Christmas. ‘Bah humbug! Not this again!’ she grumbles. ‘I can’t find my dinner with that racket below – shoppers and carols and all that ho-ho! Another hilarious addition to Kate and Jol Temple’s Bin Chicken stories with more delightful illustrations from Ronojoy Ghosh. Highly recommended for ages 3 - 7. |
