Overview
The Farmyard Friends 4 Books Collection Set brings together four charming, rhyming board book tales from bestselling illustrator Axel Scheffler, creator of The Gruffalo. Each sturdy, cased board book follows a lovable farmyard character - Higgly Hen, Portly Pig, Cuddly Cow and Gobbly Goat - through a simple, funny adventure. Perfect for toddlers and young children, this set is ideal for shared reading, gift-giving, and building early vocabulary through gentle, familiar farmyard stories.

About the Books
In Higgly Hen, poor Higgly has lost her chicks and little ones can help her search the farmyard for clues as she hunts for them, learning that staying calm and hopeful leads to a happy ending. In Portly Pig, the mucky pig sets off in search of the biggest, muddiest puddle on the farm, only for the rain to threaten his fun - a playful story about curiosity and cause and effect. Cuddly Cow follows a sleepy cow who visits each of her farmyard friends trying to find the comfiest spot for a good night's rest, making it a soothing choice for bedtime routines. Finally, in Gobbly Goat, a hungry goat goes looking for something tasty to munch, discovering friends and food along the way. Across all four stories, Scheffler's warm, recognisable illustrations and simple, rhyming texts are designed for reading aloud, helping toddlers follow along and spot familiar animals. The sturdy, cased board format is built to withstand little hands, making these books ideal for everyday play and quiet story time. Together, the set offers a well-rounded introduction to farmyard life and the simple pleasures of friendship, food, mud and sleep.
