Big Chickens Go to Town
Why did the chickens cross the road? To get to town, of course! When those four lily-livered chickens are accidentally dumped off the farmer's 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 Cole's boisterous art.
Reviews
The silly, rhyming words ("The chickens blabbered, gabbered, and gibber-jabbered") make this great for reading aloud, and Cole's bright ink-and-watercolor cartoon pictures extend the chaotic fun. Kids will feel superior to the naive chickens, even as they recognize the birds' anxiety about strange, new places. —Booklist
This is a book that must be read aloud...Big Chickens Go to Town is more than a really funny book —Kirkus
