(3) K-3 Left alone to guard the house, the narrator, a dog with an attitude, finds an advertisement for free-range chickens. "Starving for adventure, hungry for chicken," he sets off to procure his free fowls. The text, full of puns and wordplay ("It was pure poultry in motion"), is fun to read aloud, while the illustrations showing a debonair dog with a beret add their own bits of humor.
