1-3Chicken Squad series.
Illustrated by
Kevin Cornell.
When chicks Dirt, Sugar, Poppy, and Sweetie (The Chicken Squad) post a flyer advertising their services--finding lost things, fixing broken things, getting clients out of trouble, or bringing trouble to them--a number of mysteries collide. Full-page black-and-white illustrations and spot art escalate the characters' personalities. This early-chapter-book mystery allows new readers the satisfaction of being savvier than its featherbrained characters.
