I have come across two books that simply made me laugh. Fun characters (chickens!), fun stories and fun language with some good messages to boot... If you like Minerva Louise you will love these. However, I must admit they are not very flattering about the intelligence of our feathered friends!"Chicken Big" by Keith Graves is about a very humongous egg in the chicken coup which hatches a huge yellow .. well the others are not sure what it is. It might be an elephant or a squirrel or maybe even an umbrella. But when it saves the day one final time they realize that "only one thing could be so smart, so kind, so warm and so brave. A cow??? No, he's a .......... "
And "Big Chickens Fly the Coop" by Leslie Helakoski also does not show chickens in a very good light. "It's nice and safe at home in the coop..... We should always stay home. We could always stay home... except we've always wanted to see the farmhouse" and off they go except what they think is the farmhouse isn't! But try, try and try again they do.....
I love the pictures in both and hope you will too.
