But the hens don't like the newcomer getting attention while they do all the hard work. When a wise old hound sees the problem, he helps orchestrate a job swap. </p><p>What follows is the riotous tale of three hens who get in way over their feathered heads, and one very distressed peacock who just can't figure out how to lay an egg.</p><p>Lester Laminack has created a comical look at envy, finding your strength, and what happens when we underestimate the value of others' work.
