The Naked Chicken

About the Book

The Naked Chicken. What can I say? My husband and I actually owned a chicken without any feathers. The children loved to come and see our chicken, and play at the farm. I’m sure it was quite a sight. Even for school, on the ‘show and tell’ days, every child we knew took turns taking the picture of the naked chicken. So of course you can see how just such a scene would appeal to a writer; and a story began. This story tells about a chicken picked on because she can’t lay any beautiful, colored eggs, like the rest of the hens. Hers are white only. But something happens to make her the top seller out of all the hens. Sometimes it just pays to be different! To complete this book, I have included short stories about other farm animals and a poem here and there. Be sure to read on and find out what happens when two little girls ask Old Man Joe to build them a toy truck, and he refuses. Also; what might be happening with our cat Holli? That cat sure gets In to a lot of trouble. Enjoy.
