If
you were the Chicken-Chasing Queen of Lamar County,
would you keep trying to catch Miss Hen, that one big
beautiful chicken that is faster than a mosquito and
quicker than a flea-bite? If Big Mama told you to stop
chasing the chickens, would you stop? What could Miss
Hen have up her wing feathers that would change your
goal forever?
You
will love this story of an young African American farm
girl and her favorite chicken! It is a fast-paced read-aloud
that invites sound effects from listeners and is filled
with brilliant, unusual illustrations, colloquial language,
and unique figures of speech. The sweet, tender ending
tops it all!
