On a teeny little farm, in an itty bitty coop, is born one big, humongous ...something. None of the chickens knows quite what he is, but each time something terrifying falls from the sky and the chickens run for their lives, he calmly explains the situation and offers comfort. With each calamitous event, the little chickens are sure they've pinned him down--he's an elephant, a squirrel, an umbrella, even a sweater! But when he ultimately saves the day, they realise that only one thing could be so smart, kind, warm and brave. In this hilarious spin-off of the classic Chicken Little story, author/illustrator Keith Graves brings a whole new perspective to what it really means to be ...chicken.
