About the Author

Roger Priddy left school at 16 with just one qualification—in art. He went to Berkshire College of Art and Design and trained as an illustrator.  His first job in children’s books was working with the publisher Peter Usborne, at Usborne Publishing, and then he worked with Peter Kindersley at Dorling Kindersley, where he spent 16 years. Priddy became Creative Director of DK’s Children’s Division and was Managing Director of the children’s mass market publisher Funfax when it was acquired by DK.

 

In 2000, he created Priddy Books with John Sargent at St Martin’s Press to create innovative and imaginative titles for children, from first books for babies through early reference titles for older children. Since then, over 30 million copies of Roger's 200 plus books have sold worldwide, with five of his books—My Big Animal, My Big Truck, Happy Baby Words, Happy Baby Colors and Puppy and Friends—each selling over one million copies. He is also the author of Big Board First 100 Words; Big Board Books Colors, ABC, Numbers; and Bright Baby Noisy Monsters. His creativity has been recognized with numerous industry awards. Priddy lives in London with his wife Zena and their four children.

CHAPTER 1

With a red comb on his head, the rooster crows, "get out of bed!"

When the duck is swimming in the lake, "quack, quack," is the sound she'll make.

The sheep has a coat of soft white wool. She munches grass until she's full.

The big brown horse is in the stable. Say hello, her name is Mabel.

Here's a cow looking at you. Feel her nose, she might say, "moo."

The goat has horns, long and thin, and a scruffy beard beneath his chin.

With a curly tail, here's a pig. Lots of food makes him big!

The goose has a beak, webbed feet and wings. Can you touch one of these things?

Editorial Reviews

A soft, fuzzy, yellow chick makes the cover of this cloth book quite appealing.... Fluffy Chick and Friends is a cut above many other cloth books and the surface is even washable.” —Children's Literature

From the Publisher

A soft, fuzzy, yellow chick makes the cover of this cloth book quite appealing. When you pull the Velcro strap it opens the book up to a variety of other animals—rooster, duck, sheep, horse, cow, goat, pig and goose. A real farm menagerie, which is recapped on the back cover. Each page in the book offers something to touch such as the rooster's comb, sheep's wool and goat's horns. The text provides information about the animal. Young kids will lean the names as well as salient facts about each creature. Fluffy Chick and Friends is a cut above many other cloth books and the surface is even washable. 2005, Piddy Books/St. Martin's Press, Ages 3 mo. to 3.
