Bookroo's summary

When a chicken crosses the road to join library story time, chaos ensues as more children and chickens flock in. The overwhelmed librarian must devise a clever plan to manage the lively crowd and find a moment of peace. Will she succeed in taming the delightful pandemonium, or will story time be forever changed? Discover the whimsical solution in this charming tale of unexpected library visitors.

From the publisher

A wonderfully silly take on library story time that’s perfect for children, chickens, and everyone in between

Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to story time at the library, of course! The children like the chicken, the chicken likes the children, and everyone loves story time. So it’s no surprise that more children (and more chickens!) get in on the fun until there are more kids and critters than the librarian knows what to do with. Luckily, she comes up with a creative solution and manages to find little R & R for herself.

Fans of Bats in the Library and Library Lion will fall in love and story time will never be the same!
