Reviews

"[T]his utterly seamless blend of story and art is an ingenious treat for all ages."--starred, Kirkus Reviews

"Filled with splashy colors and textures, Horne's mixed-media pictures playfully fiddle with perspective and scale while including details that step up the fun. . . . An oddball birthday tale with heart."--Publishers Weekly

"Kids will enjoy pointing out the details that provide visual clues as to what the chicken is up to. An amusing story with a twist, perfect for a maker or construction storytime."--School Library Journal

"This chicken story is definitely as good as a ticket to an amusement park, maybe better."--Booklist
