Big Chickens by Leslie Helakoski
One of my college professors read this book aloud in one of my classes. I don't know if it was the way she read it that made me love this book so much or if the story line is just that funny, but it has been one of my favorites for several years.
Four chickens are on a journey and at every point along the way they continuously realize what chickens they are - everything scares them! Alas! How easily they forget this. As soon as they "conquer" a fear they are on cloud 9, thinking they are the biggest, baddest chickens around, until they happen into the next "scary" circumstance.
The dialogue between the chickens is what makes this book. Such clever writing! You really need to read this one!
