Publisher Description
Now an animated series on Disney Junior!
The Chicken Squad is back for their third (mis)adventure, this time facing off with whatever’s hiding in a mystery box in the backyard. A hilarious chapter book in what has been called “a lip-bitingly funny series” (School Library Journal) by the bestselling author of Click, Clack, Moo and Diary of a Worm.
Our fluffy, fearless young detectives are back. There’s a new cage in the yard, and the Chicken Squad is determined to figure out just who this is in it. Because whatever it is, it’s definitely up to no good. Equipped with the latest surveillance gear—which apparently includes copious amounts of marshmallows—the chicks venture into the wild to get answers. Let’s just hope they can beat that giant raincloud that’s closing in…because everyone knows that chickens can’t swim!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This third book in the Chicken Squad series finds the investigative team of Dirt, Sugar, Poppy, and Sweetie trying to solve a mystery involving a box made of wood and wire that has appeared in the yard. Dirt, whose mix of no-nonsense gruffness and utter incompetence offers big laughs throughout the story, is certain that it's a "top-secret maximum-security box" and that "we are all in imminent danger." Luckily, cooler (and more logical) heads prevail, and the truth turns out to be a lot fluffier. Gilpin's black-and-white spot illustrations adeptly replicate the look Kevin Cornell established in the previous books as Cronin humorously explores the differences between facts and speculation, spying and observing, and rain and other things that sprinkle. Ages 7 10.
