Bookroo's summary

Little Chick, excluded from the barnyard tree house for being 'just a chicken,' uncovers a surprising link to the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex. Armed with newfound confidence, he faces a menacing wolf, challenging the notion that strength is tied to size. Can Little Chick show the bullies what true bravery looks like?

From the publisher

A bullied little chicken discovers his inner strength along with some surprising dinosaur ancestry in this farmyard tale with huge heart. Little Chick just wants to belong, but the bullies of the barnyard–Little Donkey, Little Pig, and Little Sheep–won’t let him play in their tree house because he is a chicken, and chickens are not strong and brave. Little Chick sees their point: What have chickens done besides invent the chicken dance and cross the road? But when his father shows Little Chick the family photo album, he learns something HUGE: He is related to the gigantic and ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex! Armed with this new knowledge, Little Chick returns to the tree house just in time to rescue the bullies from a scary wolf–and prove that strength and bravery have nothing to do with size.
