Bookroo's summary
Chicken tumbles out of Farmer's truck and must navigate his way home alone. With no ribbons from the fair and a hungry fox lurking, Chicken's journey seems impossible. Can he overcome these obstacles and prove he's more than just a lost bird? Join Chicken in a hilarious adventure filled with unexpected courage and self-discovery, as he chants his mantra, "I am a strong and powerful and nice-looking chicken!" Will he make it back safely, or will the fox have other plans? Discover the surprising strength of this plucky fowl in a tale of resilience and humor.
From the publisher
After falling out of Farmer’s truck, Chicken must find his own way home in this goofy, laugh-out-loud story about overcoming obstacles and believing in yourself. It has not been a good day for Chicken. He went to the fair with Farmer, but didn’t win even one ribbon. And on the way home, the road is so bumpy that Farmer’s truck knocks Chicken right out! He’s been left behind! It’s the end for Chicken. Surely, he can’t walk all the way home. Or avoid the hungry fox along the way. Or maybe…he can? This rollicking picture book will have little ones in giggles over Chicken’s misadventures and chiming in on the plucky fowl’s mantra “I am a strong and powerful and nice-looking chicken!” as he achieves more than he thought possible.
