Souperchicken

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Jane Auch & Herm Auch. Henrietta's love of reading comes in handy when the older chickens are shipped out to go on "vacation"--in a truck labeled "Souper Soup Co." A full-fledged caper ensues as Henrietta helps rescue her friends and find them a safe haven at a vegetarian farmer's house. While somewhat long-winded and heavy-handed, the story and its colorful mixed-media artwork are amusing.
