(3) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Menchin. The chickens in these poems lay cantaloupes, sing (badly), and explain their role in evolution. Comedy wins out over reality in the well-rhymed verses, which use chickens' potential for humor to its full advantage. Drawings of the birds interact with the printed words, which often border on concrete poetry, if concrete poetry can have feathers.
