Harrington, Janice N.

The Chicken-Chasing Queen of Lamar County

32 pp. | Farrar/Kroupa | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-31251-0 $16.00
(1) K-3 Illustrated by Shelley Jackson. An African American girl takes pride in her chicken-chasing skills, but one chicken eludes her. It's refreshing to see a picture book with a female main character so gleefully naughty, but Harrington never crosses the line into cruelty. Jackson's expansive collages display the same zest and energy. This funny story will have city kids longing for the chance to chase chickens.
