Mercy Watson fans will flock to this whimsical new series for developing readers.</b><b>--Kirkus, starred review</b> <p/>Generous white space keeps the momentum rising as running text--a single thought, or sometimes even one word, including the chicken's initial squawk--stretches across spreads. A smattering of 'Fun Facts About Chickens' creates a humorously informative closing. <b>-- </b>Publishers Weekly</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Elana K.
