Based on a personal childhood adventure

The Henhouse: A Ture Story Of Life On A Maine Farm is based on a personal childhood adventure of author Carol Shorey in a charming, instructive story of a young girl who begs her father to let her help him take care of the chickens. There, young Carol encounters the sights, sounds, and smells of hundreds of roosters and hens -- and is pecked by aggressive roosters until her father comes to the rescue, scooping her up in his arms and carrying her away to safety. Very highly recommended for school and community library collections, this thoroughly entertaining picture book story is wonderfully illustrated in watercolor artwork by Sandra Dunn.
