Here is a cute story, accompanied by detailed illustrations in muted tones, about a chicken wreaking havoc in dog's kitchen.

The text has a strong colloquial flair and is best read aloud to get the full cadence and effect. Most obvious is the dropping of the "g"s on most words (flicken', snackin', scratchin', etc.) which may make it difficult for beginning readers, but certainly would not affect anyone listening to the story.

The ending is adorable - with baby chicks all over that make dogs heart quicken. Sweet.

Quote of the Day:


The world is your exercise-book, the pages on which you do your sums.

It is not reality, although you can express reality there if you wish.
You are also free to write nonsense, or lies, or to tear the pages.
