An action-packed and hilarious picture book about a family of chickens with one member who is a little different from the rest. Edna the very first chicken is hatching her very first eggs! With long, sharp teeth and claws, one of her chicks, Sinclair, is an unusual chicken. But when Gorgosaurus threatens his family, Sinclair might just prove to be the best chicken ever. Heartfelt and humorous, this delightful picture book celebrates dinosaurs, chickens, the importance of family, and the joy of accepting who we are.
"This kinder, funnier "Ugly Duckling" story is a visual treat...Readers should give it a cheer--or, as Sinclair would say, a 'RAUUUGH!'" - Publishers Weekly
"Silly, with a dash of science." -Kirkus
"The expressive illustrations amplify every mood and emotion within the story. With its cartoon drama and amusing characters, this picture book is fun for reading aloud." -Booklist
"With absurdity, a bit of action, and reassuring affirmation, this will bring a smile to any dino-obsessed kid." -BCCB
