About the Author

Jan Whiten was born in Bendigo, Victoria. Her early school years were spent at a tiny rural school with one room and one teacher for all grades. Jan is married with two sons. As a family they spent many happy hours sharing the magic of books together. Her love of reading children s books led Jan into the exciting world of writing her own stories for children. Chooky-Doodle-Doo is Jan s first commercially published book. It was inspired by the antics of Miss Milligan, one of her much-loved hens.

About the Illustrator

Always aspiring, envisaging and dreaming, Sin ad Hanley s visual language plays with pencil, paper cuts, textures, surfaces and screen printing. Her style is informed and thoroughly inspired by a range of influences including folklore, nature, op art, and an undying passion for collecting kitsch books and dusty encyclopaedias. Chooky-Doodle-Doo is her first book.
Industry Reviews
I love the slightly acid tones and the textural effects of Sinead Hanley's amusing illustrations. Just the thing to share with the youngest listeners. * Red Reading Hub *
The illustrations are a delight. * Create a Kids Book *
The rhyme and rhythm sequence is short and sharp, lending this to be a great counting primer and read aloud. * Creative Kids Tales *
