Description
When four big chickens see a wolf sneaking near their coop, they run into the woods to hide. But for a bunch of big chickens, running away from danger isn't as easy as it looks. As they continue on their way, they wonder- What if they get stuck in a ditch What if they hit an iceberg in the lake What if they step into a cow patty Eewww! Brimming with silliness and the kind of slapstick humor small children love, heres a rollicking read-aloud with an uplifting message and a very satisfying ending.
Reviews
The portly, partly clothed hens make comical figures in this tribute to chicken power.
