Reviews

"This book just begs to be read aloud, with long pauses to take in the complexity of the gorgeous half painted, half collage illustrations." --Time Magazine

"Never has the expression "feathers will fly" been aptly illustrated as in this vivacious story." --Starred, Kirkus Reviews

"Both words and pictures elevate a simple story about a girl's sly, barnyard game into a rollicking, well-told delight. A first-rate read-aloud." --Starred, Booklist

"This funny story will have city kids longing for the chance to chase (and/or nurture) some chickens themselves." --Starred, The Horn Book

"The mischief sings in every syllable fo this energetic tale . . . Harrington's storytelling style make the prose jump from page to ear." --Starred, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
