Illustrated by
Russell Ayto.
When Marjorie the cow laments her ordinariness, the chickens come up with a plan to make her feel important. Their stunt works, though the funny and sweet ending suggests that the joke could be on the chickens. Energetic mixed-media collage illustrations on bright backgrounds are an apt match for the zany story.
