Bookroo's summary
At Nuthatcher Farm, the chickens, led by a clever rooster, concoct a plan to spice up their meals with chips and salsa. As the barnyard buzzes with excitement for the fiesta, disaster strikes—their supplies mysteriously disappear. With the big day at risk, can the chickens uncover the truth behind the missing ingredients? Is it the work of Mr. and Mrs. Nuthatcher, or is there another culprit? Dive into this delightful tale of culinary creativity and barnyard mystery.
From the publisher
What happens at Nuthatcher Farm when the chickens get tired of the same old chicken feed? The rooster hatches a plan! With a pinch of genius, a dash of resourcefulness, and a little pilfering from the farmer’s garden, the chickens whip up a scrumptious snack of chips and salsa. When the rest of the barnyard gets a whiff of the spicy smells and want to join in, it can mean only one thing . . . FIESTA! But when the big day arrives, all their spicy southwestern supplies are gone! Could Mr. and Mrs. Nuthatcher have caught on to the flavor craze?
