Our Rooster Is Dead

Anders Sparring & Per Gustavsson

The fox on the floor had started to move. She pulled her tail closer to her small body and sighed in her sleep. Was she cold? Beata sat still and tried not to breathe. The fox was small, hardly bigger than Beata herself. And now she saw — it was a fox cub!

After a stormy night, the little fox cub Bim wakes up in the henhouse. Lost in the forest, she had followed the most delicious scent, which led her here. The hens and the rooster Johnny are not happy when they discover a fox in the henhouse, but Beata, who is the highest in rank and has laid eggs her entire life without ever having a chick, is overwhelmed by maternal feelings and decides that Bim should stay. Johnny insists, Bim is really a killing machine. And maybe Johnny is right? Because one night, he is found dead on the floor. But is it really Bim who has blood on her paws?

A new world created by the duo behind The Pinchers! A farmyard universe with original characters and sharp humor. Here lives the bonvivant Nasse, the dangerous dog Franko, a bunch of hens, and the little fox cub Bim.
