Reviews
Kids will enjoy pointing out the details that provide visual clues as to what the chicken is up to. An amusing story with a twist, perfect for a maker or construction storytime.
School Library Journal
Mixed media artwork is as playful as the text is pragmatic. Bold color, clever details, and full out action will have kids giggling at every turn. Be sure to take the time to read the chicken’s entire list!
Sal's Fiction Addiction
This kooky story is actually quite funny and it is a great story to get kids to predict what the chicken might be up to. The illustrations are bright and appealing and there is a lot going on in each picture.
