In this delightful successor to Handa's Surprise', Handa and her friend Akeyo set off from their Kenyan village to look for Grandma's black hen. Progressing from the discovery of two fluttery butterflies to nine shiny starlings, they finally come upon Mondi and her ten splendid chicks. The simple counting story is perfectly matched by bold illustrations evoking an affectionate picture of an African village childhood.
