1-3Chicken Squad series.
Illustrated by
Stephen Gilpin.
In their fourth mystery-adventure, the four chicken siblings visit a farm for a family reunion and end up searching for missing jelly beans (and learning about the concept of perimeter). Themes of family and belonging are highlighted through the experiences of a lonely owl. Black-and-white illustrations supply clues and emphasize plot details. Another satisfying entry in the chapter book series.
