Beschreibung des Verlags
A wonderfully silly take on library story time that’s perfect for children, chickens, and everyone in between
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to story time at the library, of course! The children like the chicken, the chicken likes the children, and everyone loves story time. So it’s no surprise that more children (and more chickens!) get in on the fun until there are more kids and critters than the librarian knows what to do with. Luckily, she comes up with a creative solution and manages to find little R & R for herself.
Fans of Bats in the Library and Library Lion will fall in love and story time will never be the same!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Children will know that they are in for some poultry-themed hijinks from the first page of this off-kilter story, as a chicken spots a poster for "story time at the library." As kids stream into the library, the chicken gives readers a knowing glance she's ready to make her move. She's friendly ("The children like the chicken. The chicken likes the children"), well-behaved, and attentive, so the librarian is chill about it (after all, "everyone loves story time"). But as chickens and kids show up in ever-larger numbers (one chicken even slips in through the book return slot), crowd control becomes difficult and proper library behavior goes out the window. What's a librarian to do? Asher's (Here Comes Gosling!) poker-faced, repeating text ("One library. One story. Many children. Many chickens") offers the perfect setup for Fearing's wonderfully silly and well-choreographed cartooning, which proves that children and chickens are equally skilled at creating chaos. And the resolution points to another advantage of becoming a reader: you can lead a cross-species story time yourself. Ages 3 5.
