Illustrated by
George Booth.
Tennessee poultry-farm chicken Starlight LaPoule (née Ethel Fae Klucksworth) dreams of becoming a top-line fashion model--and suddenly she has a (chicken) fairy godmother who might make it happen. There's no denying the wit of Miss Nelson–books author Allard and the panache of New Yorker cartoonist Booth, whose layers of preposterous comical scenarios will tickle readers.
