About the book
Out of jail and up to no good, Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len are robbers on a mission. They've been stealing eggs from the fat red hen, and now they have their eyes set on the real prize the fat red hen herself. They think their plan is foolproof, but they haven't counted on one very tiny, very quiet thing.
