About this audiobook

Chookity Chook (a very splendid young rooster) and his best friend Lucy Goosey set off on a daring adventure into the world beyond the barnyard.

What wonders the pair encounter! And what wild and joyful games they enjoy together!

Tired out from their play, they sit down to catch their breath... and nearly end up being caught themselves!

A pointy nose and a flouncing tail announce the presence of Foxy Loxy. He really loves chickens – and not in a friendly way.

Will the friends outsmart the cunning Foxy Loxy and get back to the barnyard safely? Or will their amazing adventure end in a fearful flurry of feathers? Will they – gulp! – end up as a Fox’s high tea?!

Even though Chookity thinks he’s the brave one, it’s down to Lucy to show her smarts and save her friend.

Because nothing defeats a goose with her superpower let loose!

Join Chookity Chook and Lucy Goosey in a delightful rhyming romp for early readers. The bouncing rhythm, endearing characters, and awesome adventure will entrance five- to eight-year-olds. Reminiscent of authors like Dr Seus, Pamela Allen, Mem Fox and others, with a hint of Roald Dahl-like humour, this book is sure to become a favourite for your little person.




About the author

Hi, my name is Dorothy Dowling.I am from the Kimberly Region in Outback Western Australia. I am a wife and mother of 4 children and aunty of 19!! I am also a children's author, clinical nurse and midwifeand nursing educator. I am passionate about instilling a love of reading in early childhood. I write children's books, to instill a love of stories and make reading fun! I easily weave principles of diversity, inclusion, tolerance, kindness and humour through out my books. I was a young mother and didn't realize the value of stories, books and instilling the love of reading in children in my early parenting, but I do now. I wish I'd read to them more. I am passionate about instilling this knowledge to parents now. We learn on our journey right? We evolve. We are not the same as we used to be. I lost my beautiful son, as a 17 year old, in a tragic accident. That was just over 4 years ago. I published as a need for myself as part of processing and grieving. I was in a dark place when my now husband encouraged me to take back the power of the past, the domestic violence, the failed marriage, the devastation of loss and the complex grief from multiple losses. I wrote. It was powerful. It was cathartic. He sat with me over tears as I delved back and retrieved the goodness that was amongst the devastation, trauma and hurt. I found the beauty and shared it with others. Chookity Chook came to life on page and the other books followed.
