Catch That Chicken! - By Atinuke (hardcover)

The team behind Baby Goes to Market and B Is for Baby visit a Nigerian village for a humorous ode to childhood ingenuity.

Lami is the best chicken catcher in the whole village.

And while her sister may be speedy at spelling, her friend fast at braiding hair, and her brother brave with bulls, when it comes to chickens, nobody is faster or braver than Lami.

But then she chases a chicken all around and up a baobab tree and--ouch! How can Lami catch chickens with an ankle that's puffed up like an angry lizard? Could there be, as Nana Nadia says, another secret to catching chickens?
