Book Description

Publication Date: August 21, 2007 | Age Level: 5 and up | Grade Level: K and up

One night Chicken had a dream about buried treasure--a treasure trove of corn.

And the corn is always sweeter on the other farm . . . or at least that's what Chicken thinks.

His friend George agrees.

Hopefully they can find it once they cross the road.

Will Chicken's corny treasure be all it's cracked up to be?

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Corny one-liners drive this slapstick fantasy, as two featherbrained hens cross the road to follow their dreams absurd, but somehow endearing.” —Parenting

"O’Malley’s verbal hijinks and rib-tickling artwork will provide readers with 'egg-stremely egg-ceptional' giggles." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A frittata of fun." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

many uses October 11, 2007

By M. Fuka

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is FULL of figurative language of all kinds! Extrememy useful as a language curriculum connection!
The Kindergarteners enjoyed it (even though they didn't "get" all the puns) as much as the Seniors!

A RYE-OT!! February 8, 2008

By Michael S. Verruto

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I hear the review on NPR and bought 5 copies for kids niece, nephew and collegue's daughter....it is a HIT, even if a bit corn-ey. Only trouble is wee-people running around with bad puns intended.

Chicken Punny Tears of Joy April 12, 2008

By B. Stewart

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

We purchased this book as a birthday gift for a friend that has quite the flock of chickens in her backyard. She read it out loud & we laughed til tears ran down our faces. Not only did we love the puns & the very silly story (chickens after all tend to be a bit silly), the illustrations are spectacular. Chicken, the determined Aracana, and his sidekick, the ever dramatic George, are beautifully rendered. And then there's the giant pink pig!
If you would enjoy a funny book of non-fiction chicken adventures check out - Travels with My Chicken: A Man and His Companion Take to the Road

A real crack-up.

This chicken story was full of puns and quippy humor--great for the adults reading it to a child, but some of it might go over the heads of a younger preschooler. Read more
