she is extremely disappointed. She thinks that not being able to see in the dark is a terrible thing and desperately wants to prove her teacher wrong. There are a number of characters who might be able to help such as the wise Mr Owl or Miss Featherbrain who runs the library. The only problem is that they all laugh at Pippa and reinforces the notion that chickens can't see in the dark.
Therefore, Pippa is on her own but luckily she discovers a book called ''Old Hens' tales'' and that leads her to a possible solution. All she needs to do is obtain a large amount number of carrots and to eat them all. As they are a bit boring on their own, she cooks up a carrot banquet of delicious dishes like carrot cookies, crispy carrot crunchies, chewy carrot caramels and carrot curry. All these dishes sound so tempting that all the other chickens want to share her feast. They do and amazingly, as the sky grows dark, they all enjoy the wonderful sight of:
''twinkly stars, shimmery shadows, and the beautiful moon.''
Overall, my daughters and I loved this book and we definitely recommend it.
