Rendered in precise outlines, fascinating patterns, and explosive color washes, the detailed, eccentric illustrations definitely are worth discerning examination.

Fun and original, "The Chickentown Mystery" is ideal for parents, teachers and caregivers reading along with young children -- making this an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library collections. - Midwest Book Review
While Arrayás' themes are clear--doing the right thing is rewarded, and we shouldn't believe everything we see--he leaves plenty of room for imagination as well. His art offers tantalizing hints about the enigmatic chickens' inner lives, and his story is a thought-provoking blend of mystery, comedy and magic that will have readers looking at their feathered friends with heightened appreciation and a healthy dose of speculation.-Review by Linda M.
