Shop George

Something’s gone egg-stremely wrong on the farm — the chooks aren’t laying, or the eggs are vanishing! Either way, George is worried he might not be able to whip up his famous chocolate cake for the Penola Show bake-off.

Join George, Dr Ruby and the twins as they investigate the mystery of the missing eggs. Along the way, kids will learn about chickens, egg production, and the fun (and frustration!) of farm life — all served with a dash of humour and heart.

With 16 full-page colour illustrations, this 32-page story is perfect for little egg and chook enthusiasts. A fun, educational farm adventure for kids aged 2–10.
