Chookity Chook's Barnyard Parade
This one wears a waistcoat.
Chookity Chook is leading a parade, and the whole barnyard has dressed in their finest: Lucy Goosey, Duckity Doo, Polly Puss and all. But when the main attraction struts a little too boldly along the wall above Potty Pig’s pen, one very fine outfit gets very muddy indeed.
Rollicking rhyme, a gentle lesson in pride and forgiveness, and a cast of names little ones will chant for weeks. A story they’ll demand again and again, and one you’ll genuinely enjoy performing.

Dorothy Dowling is an Australian children’s author, midwife and nurse from the South West of Western Australia. Her stories began long before her books did. When her son Alex was three, they kept chooks, and Dorothy would invent tales for him out loud: silly ones, told again and again. He was her most exacting critic, and revisions were made on demand. Nearly twenty years on, and three years after Alex’s tragic death at seventeen, she published his favourite, Chookity Chook, to preserve and continue the goodness he gave so freely. Every book since carries his laughter, and every one is read-aloud tested: written to be just as good on the two-hundredth reading as the first. A career midwife who has built early-childhood health services across outback Australia, Dorothy writes for the wonder she has spent her life around. Her stories roam from a mischievous farmyard, the incredible Outback, to the sea garden beneath the famous Busselton Jetty, where Monty the pelican and his quietly hidden friend Gerald await sharp-eyed readers.
