CHICKEN SCRATCHES: POULTRY POETRY & ROOSTER RHYMES. 

Our very own Children’s author (and the creator of our extraordinary store snow man,) the wonderfully prolific George Shannon pairs up with another Bainbridge kids’ author, Lynn Brunelle, to debut their new book.

One day two summers ago, the two of them challenged each other to see who could write more silly chicken poems, both proclaiming, “Chickens today, tomorrow the world!”  The result is as adorably absurd as chickens themselves, laugh-out-loud poultry poems that will appeal to anyone with a fowl sense of humor! Come laugh, cluck, nibble, and crow with them and The Poultry Players as they celebrate. And stay tuned for ways YOU can become one of The Poultry Players and part of the show!

Recommended by Mary:

I fairly cackled with delight at the first poem and all the way through this fine variety of rhymes from scientific to slightly risque—you should see the sumo wrestler chicken! This is a perfect book for spring and will be more welcome than a peep or chocolate bunny in Easter baskets everywhere.
