About a small but brave puppy named Percy, who is tasked with guarding the chicken coop on a farm. Despite his tiny size and quiet bark, Percy is determined to protect the hens from a sly fox that lurks nearby. The farm animals, including the hens, doubt Percy’s ability to keep them safe, especially with such a formidable predator on the loose.

As the fox gets closer, Mother Hen searches the farm for stronger, more capable animals to help, but none are able or willing to take on the task. When the fox finally makes its move, Percy courageously barks, and his shadow is magnified by the moonlight, scaring the fox away. The hens are saved, and Percy has proven that bravery and courage come from within, regardless of size.

The story conveys a powerful message about courage and not underestimating others. Also the artwork is beautifully done! The illustrations are obviously very professional and beautifully presented. This is basically everything I look for in a book, it ticks all the boxes… it’s entertaining and well written, has great illustrations, and has an important message that’s easy to understand.

Our students loved it and I’m super happy to add this to our children’s bookshelf. Highly recommend adding this one to your collection too, you will not be disappointed!
