It takes a very smart chicken to get "The Scarecrow's Hat" by Ken Brown, for her very own nest.
In this story, which reminds me of one of my old favourites, "Hugh Can Do" by Jennifer Armstrong, a chicken compliments Scarecrow on his hat. Yes, but what Scarecrow would really like is a walking stick to lean on. Chicken knows where to find one.... Badger has a walking stick but what he really wants is a ribbon. Chicken knows where to find one.... Do you see the pattern?
There is a whole chain reaction of animals trading what they don't want to get what they do want. And the best part? Chicken is not trading his hat for anything!
