* ""This series starter features Starla Jean's exuberant first-person narration, liberally punctuated with dialogue with her family and neighbors. Readers transitioning to early chapter books will appreciate the four short chapters and the limited amount of text per page, wide margins, and ample space between lines of text. Mercy Watson fans will flock to this whimsical new series for developing readers.""--Kirkus, starred review ""Generous white space keeps the momentum rising as running text--a single thought, or sometimes even one word, including the chicken's initial squawk--stretches across spreads. A smattering of 'Fun Facts About Chickens' creates a humorously informative closing."" -- Publishers Weekly
