About this book

A delightful farmyard story full of energy and fun from Francesca Simon, author of the bestselling Horrid Henry series. Higgledy Piggledy loves to dance – but what good is a dancing hen? The other animals can do much more useful things like pulling the cart, giving milk and making wool. Then one afternoon, Max the kitten is in trouble and none of the other animals can help. Perhaps Higgledy Piggledy and her dancing can save the day?

Francesca Isabella Simon MBE (born 23 February 1955) is an American-born British author who resides in North London. She is most famous for writing the Horrid Henry series of children's books. Simon was born in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S. She grew up in California and studied at Yale and Jesus College, Oxford, where she majored in medieval studies and Old English. Simon worked as a journalist, writing for the Sunday Times, Guardian, Mail on Sunday, The Daily Telegraph and Vogue (US). Simon was inspired to write by Anthony Trollope. After she gave birth to her son, Joshua, in 1989, she began to write children's books full-time.

Their Tibetan spaniel, Shanti, is memorialized in the short story "Shanti" that Simon wrote for inclusion in the Paws and Whiskers anthology by fellow author Jacqueline Wilson published in February 2014. In the spring of 2019 the Royal Opera House staged an opera based on Simon's book The Monstrous Child, about the Norse god of the dead, Hel, as an angry teenager. The opera is composed by Gavin Higgins with libretto by Simon.
