The poulterer

At some time or other, we have all wondered which came first, the chicken or the egg, and we’ve all tried to understand if this question has a scientific answer. Il gallinaro, by Barbara Sandri, Francesco Giubbilini and Camilla Pintonato, tells children all about the world of one of the most famous birds of all. The illustrations help discover different types of plumage, various forms of crests, the breeds of chickens and all their shapes and colours, from the gentle egg-laying hens to fighting cocks! A book with a wealth of scientific insights, but also artistic and cultural analyses and with many amusing anecdotes about these cute birds. All those children who have seen free-range roosters and hens in farmyards and have asked themselves a thousand questions will find the answers in this book.
