PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"A chicken followed me home... What do I do now?" begins this subtly funny guide to caring for chickens. The bird in question, a Rhode Island Red whose marbled swirls of red and black give the suggestion of feathers, makes for a handsome model as Page answers chicken-related questions. When asked, "Will my chicken fly away?" Page assures readers that "if you feed your chicken and give her a safe place to sleep, she probably won't fly away." Lightly irreverent in tone and design (dictionary-style inset images highlight various chicken food sources, predators, and coops), yet packed with information for urban and rural homesteaders alike, the book only leaves one question unanswered: Why did this chicken follow me home in the first place? Ages 5 10.
