“A funny story with endearing characters both human and fowl, this is a great choice for readers just moving on to chapter books. . . . Accessible and rewarding.”
—School Library Journal

“Lively vocabulary, a jaunty font, silly chicken clichés, entertaining black-and-white spot illustrations, and back-matter recommendations for at-home egg hatching support the success of this early chapter book.”
—Booklist

“A great supplement to a science unit as a read-aloud or book club selection. Independent readers who enjoy humorous adventures will find this a good read.”
—Library Media Collection
