Chicken Butt!

32 pp. | Abrams | April, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8109-8325-0 $12.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. "'You know what?' 'What?' 'Chicken butt!'" Alternating dialogue continues as a boy asks his increasingly frustrated father, "You know why?" "How?" "Who?" and "Where?" Large type announces each comical response. The pure silliness of the schoolyard joke is appealing (though the hilarity feels forced). Cole's exaggerated acrylic and colored-pencil cartoons enhance the ridiculous rhyme.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
