Daisy, the smallest and most maligned of six hens, accidentally floats away in an egg basket on the flooding Li River in China. She escapes a number of dangers and finds her way home to her roost--and uses her newfound courage to gain respect in the hen house. Brett's trademark illustrations add luster to the story, and readers will enjoy spying the animals hidden in the scenery.
