Tazzie the Turbo Chook Finds Her Feet | Sonia Strong | 2016 [NEW – HC – Ages 4–7]

The story of Tazzie — a Tasmanian native hen who can't quite get her running right, even though running is what native hens do best.

The Tasmanian native hen (Tribonyx mortierii) is a flightless bird found only in Tasmania — endemic to the island and one of its most distinctive wildlife characters. Known locally as the turbo chook for its extraordinary speed on foot, the native hen is a common sight in paddocks and along roadsides across the state, but not known to mainland Australians.

Sonia Strong's picture book introduces the native hen to young readers through Tazzie's story — a good way to explain one of Tasmania's more unusual animals to children visiting the island or growing up here. One of our best-selling children's titles over the years — back in print after being unavailable for some time.
