Customer Reviews

Hooray for Hilda!

Hilda gets broody and determined to raise a family but circumstances conspire against her. She sees her efforts being thwarted at every turn, but she does choose some crazy places to try to lay her eggs. In a kennel and in a slipper under a bed are just two of them! Then Hilda runs away .... An amusing and fascinating tale that will appeal to 5 to 7 year olds(and also to the adults who help them read it). Try other titles in the series like 'The Cat Who wanted to Go Home', 'The Otter who Wanted to Know' and 'The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark', you won't be disappointed.
