Chicken fancies Scarecrow's hat and he'd be willing to swap it for a walking stick. Chicken doesn't have a walking stick, but she knows someone who does . . . Badger has a stick but would swap it for a ribbon. Chicken doesn't have a ribbon, but she knows someone who does . . . And so Chicken's determination to have the hat earns her her reward. But why does she want it? And would she swap it once she has it?
This ingenious and satisfying tale of enterprise and reward, and of serial swapping, is illustrated with panache by Ken Brown.
