Description

It’s a good day to be a chicken. The sun is up. The grass is warm. And Chicken wants a nap.

In this humorous tale, a barnyard chicken goes on a quest for the perfect nap-time spot. As the barnyard conspires against her, Chicken must work harder to get that nap she desperately desires. Will she be able to take a snooze? And does that mean bad news for someone else?


Reviews and award nods: 


“Marchini’s story and economy of telling display the chicken as total id, and Felix’s pencil-and-watercolor illustrations are genuine works of art. A surprising gem.” – Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Early readers will enjoy following Chicken through her barnyard adventure and will be able to decode objects and emotions easily due to the well-defined expressions of the animals…A welcome addition to a preschool or kindergarten collections, come rain or come shine.” – School Library Journal
