Are You Ready to Hatch an Unusual Chicken? by Kelly Jones

Sophie Brown is back, with even more unusual chickens coming soon to her flock: she is going to to hatch out unusual eggs!

Sophie, her cousin Lupe, and lots of friends and neighbors come together again to build a safe place for young and unusual chicks to grow. But not everyone welcomes Sophie. Will the project succeed?

This epistolary sequel to the wildly-popular Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer is just as charming as the first book, and possibly a bit more thought-provoking. Katie Kath's illustrations are a terrific accompaniment.

Highly recommended for readers (both rural and urban) ages 8 to adult. Read it to a friend... or to a special chicken.


The events may not have happened; still, the story is true. --R. Silvern
