Axel Scheffler is the world famous artist who created the Gruffalo, Chick and Bricky. This time he composed and drew a fascinating, almost detective story about Mr. Paulina, a little gray hen and a daring jewel theft. How did it happen that a nondescript gray chicken turned into a shining pearl one? When Mr. Paulin hired her to work in his pearl shop, he could not even imagine what kind of madness awaited him: a royal visit, a vile theft, a dizzying hunt for robbers, and after that - the warm rays of fame and universal recognition. But what will happen to the little gray chicken when everyone finds out what she has done? At the end of the book you will find detailed instructions from Rosa Scheffler and you will be able to create decorations from Mr. Paulin’s store with your own hands.
