I don't tire of chicken stories. Even those chickens (and friends) who are multi-lingual. Daniel Pinkwater is a tried and true storyteller. ( )

A cute book about a chicken from the farm who escapes before she's turned to soup and befriends a bunch of Brooklyn NY parrots. made me laugh a few times. ( )

Mediocre pictures and mediocre language supplemented by dual language and dual alphabets ( )

This is a pretty cute story about a country chicken who adopts and is adopted by some Brooklyn parrots! ( )

This book was strange, but I write that a lot about Daniel Pinkwater's books, but something else that I write about his stories that holds true here is that it was funny and wonderful at the same time. He decided to make this a trilingual story, mixing English, Spanish, and Yiddish text together into a heaping helping of bizarre storytelling fun. He's back on chickens again, a strange running motif in his books, that and stories set in northern New Jersey. Odd. This story is based on a true story though, so that makes it even stranger. I don't know. The book's worth a read. Give it a try. ( )
