Customer Reviews

This series is my daughters favorite!

My 10 year old has been obsessed with chickens and roosters for several years. She herself owns 10 of the most spoiled chickens (and rooster) on the planet. So when I found this series for her I knew it was PERFECT. Really hilariously written, it speaks her language perfectly! Very creative writing perfect for kids' imagination while also filled with true chicken facts, told by the chicken lovers in the series. While my daughter has read tons of books about raising these feathers dinosaurs, most of the interesting facts she talks about are normally followed with " I read it in my Unusual Chickens book!" Cleverly written, wonderful book. Highly recommend for all kids!
