Publisher's synopsis

Australia is full of big things, and Mr Chicken wants to see them all! From picture book maestro and former Australian Children’s Laureate Leigh Hobbs.

Australia is big, but so is Mr Chicken. He can’t wait to go everywhere, see everything and meet everyone.

Luckily, a helpful marsupial from Tourist Information helps Mr Chicken organise his hectic itinerary.

This book is dedicated to the many children, teachers and librarians Leigh Hobbs met during his time as the Australian Children’s Laureate.
