Synopsis

This audiobook features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun that is Mavis the Bravest.

This is a laugh-out-loud story about a bonnet-wearing, would-rather-be-knitting chicken who embarks on a high stakes chase to save her friend, Sandra the sheep.

Mavis is not like her adventurous friend Marge. Mavis is a chicken who finds EVERYTHING scary (night-time and daytime and anything hairy!). So when the slumbering peace of their cozy barn is disturbed by someone trying to steal their friend Sandra the sheep, will Mavis be able to find her bright spark of braveness and save Sandra?

With a tractor, a lasso, and a lot of hen-durance, Mavis might just have what it takes to be the hero the barn needs.

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

Yes, currently there are 8 of them running about the garden and making us laugh with their antics… So, of course, there was no doubt in my mind that I......more
