K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Tim Bowers.
Chickens Dinah and Rufus decide to open a restaurant. Rufus the cook is upset that no one orders his "custard surprise," but some quick thinking helps give the customers what they want. Once the pattern is established, the joke goes on too long, but there's a nice twist at the end. Bowers's hyper cartoon illustrations add to the humor.
