Bookroo's summary

On a tiny farm, a small hen lays a giant egg, and out hatches a massive creature. The chickens panic, unable to comprehend their new family member. Is it an elephant? As confusion reigns, the mysterious giant must prove its worth. Can this unexpected addition save the day and redefine what it means to be part of the flock? With humor and a twist on a classic tale, discover how one big surprise can change everything.

From the publisher

On a teeny little farm, in an itty-bitty coop, a very small hen laid a big, giant egg. And out of this egg came one big, humongous . . . something. It’s big! clucked the little rooster. It’s enormous! clucked the small chicken. It’s anelephant! peeped the smallest chicken. Run for your lives! they cried. No matter how they try, these clueless chickens can’t make sense of the gigantic new member of their familyuntil he saves the day. With wacky, laugh-out-loud humor and silliness to spare, this BIG twist on the classic Chicken Little story lends a whole new perspective to what it means to be chicken.
