Big Chickens Go to Town

32 pp. | Dutton | January, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-525-42162-7 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. In their third outing, the big chickens get distracted by a feed bag and find themselves on a bumpy truck ride into the city. Surrounded by strange noises, strange food, and strange animals, the chickens wonder if they'll ever get home. The text's message about not fearing the unknown is subtly delivered, and the ebullient illustrations reflect the chickens' frantic personalities.
