Mrs. Brant's Picks - Big Chickens

Big Chickens
by Leslie Helakoski
Paperback, English. ISBN: 9780142410578

When four big chickens see a wolf sneaking near their coop, they run into the woods to hide. But for a bunch of big chickens, running away from danger isn't as easy as it looks. As they continue on their way, they wonder: What if they get stuck in a ditch? What if they hit an iceberg in the lake? What if they step into a cow patty? "Eewww!"

Brimming with silliness and the kind of slapstick humor small children love, here's a rollicking read-aloud with an uplifting message and a very satisfying ending.

Those silly Big Chickens are at it again, this time New Orleans-style.

Why did the chickens cross the road? To get to town, of course! When those four lily-livered chickens are accidentally dumped off the farmeras truck, they have no choice but to follow the feed trail through a day of crazy hijinks. What ensues is a raucous adventure through town, including foreign food, weird noises, and strange birds. Sidesplitting silliness abounds in this third riotously funny read-aloud by Leslie Helakoski, once again illustrated with Henry Colea's boisterous art.
