Product Information

Meet one smart chicken chaser. She can catch any chicken on her grandmother8217;s farm except one 8211; the elusive Miss Hen. In a hilarious battle of wits, the spirited narrator regales readers with her campaign to catch Miss Hen, but this chicken is 8220;fast as a mosquito buzzing and quick as a fleabite.8221; Our chicken chaser has her mind set on winning, until she discovers that sometimes it8217;s just as satisfying not to catch chickens as it is to catch them.

A fresh voice full of sass and inventive, bold collage illustrations full of surprises create a childlike escapade brimming with funny high jinks that leads the reader on a merry, memorable chase.

A little African American girl who enjoys nothing more than chasing Big Mama's chickens around the yard meets her match in the resplendent Miss Hen. Crafty and quick, Miss Hen always disappears in a flurry of feathers before the girl can catch her. Will her chicken-chasing days be over before she finally holds this prized chicken? Accompanied by inventive collage art that incorporates a variety of fabrics, papers, photographs, and paint, this is a 2007 Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book.
