Illustrated by
Mary Jane Auch
&
Herm Auch.
In this clever parody of "Cinderella," the hen Chickerella and her Fairy Goosemother love fashion design, while the prince is really into "eggscessories." Their "happily ever after" includes not marriage, but a business partnership and the creation of a "fashion line called Chickerella." For the funny, original illustrations, the Auchs made and photographed their own feathered models, complete with elaborate costumes.
