Editorial Reviews

When young Arthur Bobowicz brings home a 266-pound live chicken instead of a turkey for Thanksgiving, listeners know they're in for a hilarious tale. Arthur names his new pet Henrietta and teaches her tricks using oatmeal cookies. When Henrietta runs away, Hoboken will never be the same. Pinkwater's radio background serves him well in his delivery of a contemporary children's story. His narration convinces listeners that it's perfectly reasonable to have a 266-pound pet chicken.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the chicken nut in all of us...., January 7, 2000

This review is from: Hoboken Chicken Emergency [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I eat a chicken caesar salad every day - high noon. I truly can't get enough. My friends say that I am a true "chicken nut". As you can imagine, I seek out any product with the word chicken in it and buy it. When a friend told me that there was a movie called "The Hoboken Chicken Emergency", I couldn't resist. I bought it, I watched it and I loved it! Who can resist?

This movie has such a wonderful title to begin with--a great conversation piece. Although this movie is intended for children, its humorous and heartwarming moments touch everyone.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Hoboken Chicken Emergency [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I think it was a really good book because it has good writing, it is funny, and it is easy to read. I hope the author writes another book about Henrietta. I would call the sequel "The Hoboken Chicks' Emergency."
