A Super Bowl-sized game day treat!

5.0 out of 5 stars COOKING UP READING WITH BUFFALO WINGS, September 29, 2009

Like its companion volume, Chicks and Salsa, this barnyard send up is a snackers delight. It invites kids to laugh out loud at the story and cook up some stories of their own to go with favorite snacks as a creative writing exercise. In this one, everybody at Nuthatcher Farm is gathering to watch football and eat themselves silly. The ducks are bringing quackamole. The pigs are bringing nachos. Rooster wants to bring buffalo wings and sets out to get some--from the buffalo. But then he rereads his recipe and finds that in addition to garlic, vinegar, ketchup, and hot sauce the vital missing ingredient is derived from body parts of his close relatives! He slinks back to the wide-screen TV and shares chuck-wagon chili, pizza with pineapple, onion rings and jalapeno hush puppies with his friends. The end paper has a recipe for buffalo-free buffalo wings (which do contain chicken wings however) that will encourage all readers to start cooking up reading. The inside front cover has a recipe for Halftime Jalapeno Hush Puppies that pack a punch too.

This had a similar feel to Chicks and Salsa, but wasn't nearly as detailed with the pictures, and the story wasn't as fun.
