Picked on, pecked, and jostled, Daisy the hen is not quite as happy as her Happy Hens market basket might suggest. One evening, fed up with the other pushy hens, Daisy crawls into one of the baskets by the river, and falls asleep. Unaware of the rising river, this put-upon bird winds up floating downstream, past marauding monkeys, snorting water buffalo, and a greedy fisherman. Will Daisy ever make her way back to the home of the little girl Mei Mei and the six happiest hens in all of China?

Dear Friends,

We were lucky in Iowa City, Iowa to find Jan Brett telling about her new book Gingerbread Friends at the public library on November 13th, 2008. She drew the Gingerbread Baby on the easal, left, for an enthusiastic audience of little children and adults seeking her autograph. The rooster on the cover lives at Jan's home near Boston and is happy to pose for her art works. Jan carefully researches folk art and traditions while traveling in Europe with her husband, a member of the Boston Symphony. She told the audience that even as a child her ambition was to be an artist illustrating children's stories. Jan writes many of the stories in her books.
 

======================================== ========================================
Confident and cocky, the Gingerbread Baby happens upon a bakery, where he dances and prances in front of a sugar cookie girl, trying to make friends. But she just stares and doesn't say a word, like all the other sweet treats he tries to meet.

Discouraged, the Gingerbread Baby runs home, chased by a long line of hungry creatures, where Mattie has a fantastic surprise for him gingerbread friends that fill a giant fold-out page.

Irresistible images inside the confectionery and outside in the snowy Swiss countryside will delight Jan Brett fans.

Jan Brett imagines Noah''s granddaughter finding the way as she boards the ark with the animals and helps them settle down. That''s not so easy because they thump and bump and push and press against one another.
