In the funniest episode yet, the animals take on an evil chicken named Malicia. Can they convince Grampa that she’s up to no good before it’s too late?
When a tiny, ornery chicken named Malicia shows up at the Bed and Biscuit animal boardinghouse, Ernest the mini-pig is determined to put aside his dislike for chickens and be a good host. But Malicia is no ordinary chicken: she’s magic! Worse, she seems to enjoy using her evil magic to make the animals miserable. Together with Gabby the mynah bird, Milly the cat, and Sir Walter the Scottish terrier, Ernest must find a way to show Grampa what a bully Malicia is — before she does something truly terrible.
Joan Carris (1938-2023) began her career as an English and French teacher. After returning to school as an adult to earn her Masters in Children’s Literature from Hollins University, she taught graduate-level writing at Duke University. She was the author of more than thirty books, including the Bed and Biscuit series.
Noah Z. Jones illustrated the Bed and Biscuit stories as well as Dance with Me, Those Shoes, The Monster in the Backpack, and Not Norman. He lives in Camden, Maine.
