Purim Chicken

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Puy Pinillos. The barnyard animals are preparing their annual Purim play. Cluck wants to be Queen Esther, but that's Quack's role. When Quack disappears, Cluck saves her from Fox and displays enough courage to play Esther. Intricately patterned, humorous illustrations complement the many animal puns throughout the story. The characters reference Purim traditions, though the Purim story itself is retold only briefly.
