In Roger the Rooster Leaps to the Rescue, Anthea Brigham tells the story of a rooster separated from his hens when he is sent to a petting zoo.

After a fox kills one of the hens, Roger is recalled to protect his hens. He responds heroically, making clever use of skills he perfected in the petting zoo. The fox retreats in defeat ... and Roger is the toast of the hencoop!

About the author

Anthea Brigham was a young girl during the Battle of Britain in World War ii when German aircraft were dropping their bombs on the southeast cities of England. She and her sister were later evacuated to safety in the north of England, but she took with her the memory of a hen so frightened by the bombs she stopped laying eggs. Now Anthea has written her second children's book, Roger the Rooster Leaps to the Rescue.
