Clucky the hen, we don’t know why, can forget all her duties just watching a fly.

And still she is loved despite her mistakes, wherever she goes, whatever boo-boos she makes.

She is so good at heart, so loving and sweet, her hugs, so they say, are a wonderful treat.

Clucky the hen needed a nice holiday, so she packed a few bags and set off on her way.

Her chicks were so happy they shouted with glee, “Are we going to the mountains, or for some fun by the sea?”

“I don’t like climbing, the sea gives me the shivers.

We should go camping in the Garden of Mirrors.”

Clucky the hen and her chicks decide to go camping in the Garden of Mirrors, a place full of fun and magic and whose guardian is a very strange creature indeed. Apart from having a wonderful time, they will also experience a number of powerful emotions…

This is the second story featuring the adorable hen, who once again amazes us with her clumsiness and her kindheartedness–this time leading us into a world of fantasy. Clucky in the Garden of Mirrors is a perfect tale for children dealing with situations in which a parent is frequently away from the home, and one that stimulates children’s creativity with colorful and detailed illustrations.
