"Laminack's storytelling is brisk, and Cole's cartoon illustrations
are vivid and comical"—Booklist
"What might have been an ordinary be-yourself story is enhanced by
Laminack's (Snow Day!) surprisingly thoughtful storytelling. . .
Laminack characterizes the hens with a fine ear for their Golden
Girls outrage. . . the illustrations go for big guffaws and
slapstick instead, and largely succeed. . . effectively keeping the
book from feeling message-heavy."—Publishers Weekly
"Frenetically posing chickens will inspire giggles. . . Good farm
fun."—Kirkus Reviews
"A delightful choice for schools and public libraries"—School
Library Journal
