Egg rolls up at Foxy DuBois’ door and she anticipates a feast in store. First she tries to fatten him up but what finally hatches out of the egg is no chickenfeed! The beginning of this picture book is presented like a film with a credits listing and an opening adapted from a line in Casablanca.
It proceeds to entertain with visual as well as verbal gags in the collage illustrations. This fable of eating or being eaten could cross reference with many well known fairy tales.
Author-illustrator Alex T. Smith is the award-winning creator of the bestselling Claudeseries, which is published in 16 languages worldwide, and is now a TV show on Disney Junior. Alex’s newest series, Mr Penguin, launched in 2017, to widespread praise. Alex’s quirky, witty writing and illustrations are instantly recognisable, critically acclaimed and as popular with adults as children.

Alex has collaborated with Watership Down author Richard Adams on his last book, Egg Box Dragon, as well as David Almond and Juno Dawson.
