About this title

About the Author:

Colin and Jacqui - a husband and wife team - are top children's writers and illustrators in the UK. Colin Hawkins was educated at art school in the north of England and then worked as an illustrator/designer for the Daily Express before working on magazines and in advertising. Jacqui Hawkins was trained as a graphic designer at Goldsmiths College. In 1979 the two had the idea to begin illustrating children's books together. Since then, Colin and Jacqui have created some of the most exciting books for children available today.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2 In this simple story, told in large type and boldly colored pictures, Jen the Hen extends invitations to her birthday party. Each left-hand page tells one sentence of the story. The first letter of the key word in each sentence appears on the shorter right-hand page and forms the key word in combination with the base -en , which is printed on the full-size last page of the book. There are additional cartoon-bubble comments from two caterpillars who follow Jen. This humorously illustrated rhyming story follows the format of the authors' previous tale, Pat the Cat (Putnam, 1983). Reading and rhyming treats for beginning readers as well as young listeners.
