About
the Book
One day, Chicken Chuck eats a big blue seed, and
a blue feather sprouts magically in the middle of his forehead! It grows bigger
and bigger and bigger, and Chicken Chuck grows bossier and bossier and
bossier—until one day the farm animals discover a circus horse that has
TWO blue feathers on its head. This quirky story by classic children’s
author Bill Martin Jr has been reissued here with whimsical illustrations by
Steven Salerno, which were described in
Kirkus Reviews
as
"a spectacular debut."
