Reviews
* "A charmer of a chicken. . . Here's hoping that Peggy has many more big adventures."
--Kirkus, starred review
* "Walker's ink and photo collage illustrations are dreamlike in appearance. Admirers of Janet Morgan Stoeke's "Minerva Louise" books (Dutton) will relish the chance to meet another charming chicken."
--School Library Journal, starred review
--Horn Book Magazine "Walker creates a gorgeous, rain-washed cityscape, inhabited by anonymous figures in muted colors and photo-collaged images of passing buildings; the lone chicken, walking confidently within the crowd, receives only casual attention."
--Publishers Weekly
