All the birthday girl wants from her Abuela is a ticket to the amusement park. Instead, she gets a chicken. But this chicken is no ordinary chicken; it has plans! With a lot of hard work, and help from other animals, this chicken may just end up granting the girl the best birthday gift ever.
"[T]his utterly seamless blend of story and art is an ingenious treat for all ages."—starred, Kirkus Reviews*STARRED ------------------------- "This chicken story is definitely as good as a ticket to an amusement park, maybe better."—Booklist ------------------------- "Filled with splashy colors and textures, Horne’s mixed-media pictures playfully fiddle with perspective and scale while including details that step up the fun. . . . An oddball birthday tale with heart."—Publishers Weekly ------------------------- "Kids will enjoy pointing out the details that provide visual clues as to what the chicken is up to. An amusing story with a twist, perfect for a maker or construction storytime."—School Library Journal -------------------------
