Cocoroto Y Compania/Cocorota and Company - Softcover

Grade 1-3-This easy reader in five chapters presents a captivating farmyard mystery about four hens that have distinctive personalities. Cocorota is the largest and most aggressive among them. The mystery starts when the hens realize that somebody has been stealing their eggs each morning. At first, three of the hens suspect the gluttonous Cocorota is the thief, but they soon discover that her eggs get taken as well. Some fancy sleuthing proves that the farmer's wife is the perpetrator. What to do? They hatch a plan to lay some of their eggs in a secret, hidden nest while continuing to lay a few eggs in the customary spot. One thing leads to another and one day the farmer discovers the secret nest now bursting with little chicks and peace is once again restored. Funny illustrations extend the simple story line.
