'I'm on an official visit,' Mr Chicken said. 'I want to go everywhere, see everything and meet everyone.'
Mr Chicken has received lots of wonderful letters from all over Australia and is determined to visit as many people and places as possible. A helpful marsupial from Tourist Information organises a hectic itinerary
Australia is big, but so is Mr Chicken, and he has the trip of a lifetime.
Leigh Hobbs works across a wide range of artistic mediums, but is best known for his children's books featuring Old Tom, Horrible Harriet, Fiona the Pig, the Freaks of 4F, Mr Badger and Mr Chicken. Old Tom is also a popular TV series, and Leigh has won every major Australian children's choice award. Mr Chicken Goes to Paris was shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Awards, is a bestseller at Paris's Louvre Bookshop, was adapted for the stage by NIDA, and was shortlisted for the CBCA Awards - as were Horrible Harriet and Old Tom's Holiday. Since childhood, Leigh's had a passion for art, architecture, classical music, English history, and he loves London, Paris and Rome as much as his beloved character Mr Chicken.
His time as Laureate has meant travel to every corner of Australia and this book is a fitting celebration of all the places he's been and the people's he's met.
