Overview

The four big chickens who were afraid of everything in their wellreceived debut, Big Chickens, are now feeling all cooped up, so they set off to find the farmhouse. But where, the hapless hens wonder, is it? First they find a doghouse (loud barking!); then they run into a tractor (ewww, dirty!); and then they stomp into the barn (wild horses!). Who knew the farmhouse was right under their beaks the whole time? Sidesplitting silliness abounds in this second riotously funny read-aloud by Leslie Helakoski, once again illustrated with Henry Cole's boisterous art.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
AGERANGE: Ages 4 to 8.

They have always wanted to see the farmhouse. So the four silly chickens of Big Chickens leave their coop and arrive at a structure. Since they do not really know what the farmhouse looks like, they wonder if this is it. It has a roof and a door, but also a tail, since it is the doghouse. Chickens and dogs clash is a series of rhymes like "flounced, trounced, and body-bounced…and pounced." Back to the coop they run, figuring they should have stayed home. But still, they want to taste the bugs at the farmhouse. So off they go to similar unpleasant encounters at the tractor and in the barn. When they finally make it to the actual farmhouse, it is a riot of word-play fun, climaxing with the surprise that their coop is "right next door." So "Four slobbery, sooty, saddle-sore chickens strutted all the way home." Cole's comical paintings add visual fun to the verbal play. The quartet of anthropomorphic hens, each in a different dress and colored feathers, provides considerable slapstick action as each investigation results in minor mayhem. As they waddle back to their coop in the last scene, we wonder where their curiosity will take them next. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz

School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2- The four fowl from Big Chickens (Dutton, 2005) agree that they should always stay home where it's safe "except...we've always wanted to see the farmhouse." As the hens venture out, time and again, they mistake other buildings and equipment for their destination and end up scurrying back to their coop. They almost give up, but then decide that chickens can be loud and dirty and wild. With determination, they make a pell-mell, treacherous dash through the field and arrive, at last, in front of the farmhouse. In a surprise ending, readers see the farmhouse right next to the chicken coop as the birds wonder, "Did someone move our coop?" Each traveling catastrophe is met with clever rhyming vocabulary and the repetition of phrases, all of which move the story forward with just enough predictability to engage young listeners and beginning readers. The dangers of the farm are expressed in the highly emotional reactions of the cartoon chickens and their exaggerated actions. Line, color, and placement all contrast the alternating chaos of exploring the farm with the safety of resting in the coop. A witty addition that is sure to elicit giggles from readers.-Julie R. Ranelli, Queen Anne's County Free Library, Stevensville, MD
