The Chicken-Chasing Queen of Lamar County

Harrington, Janice N. The Chicken-Chasing Queen of Lamar County. Farrar, Straus & Giroux: 2007. ISBN: 9780374312510. Ages: 5 to 8.

This story is about a girl who likes to chase chickens. She has a special goal, and that goal is catching a special chicken called Miss Hen. I think the book had beautiful artwork. The artist used scraps of this and bits of that for the chickens and the people were so realistic. The artist used paints. My favorite part was when she was chasing the chickens. I also like the part near the end when the girl finds Miss Hen's hiding spot. I recommend this book to teachers who teach kindergarten through 2nd grade. 4 stars for this book.
