I Got a Chicken for My Birthday

Lively illustrations, sly humor, and creativity make this story of a girl learning to appreciate her grandmother's unconventional birthday gift shine.

When a little girl's birthday is coming up, she sends hints to her Abuela about what she wants as a gift. A chicken, was not what she wanted, in fact, who would want a chicken for their birthday. This chicken was not an ordinary chicken. It was smart, a builder who had a lot of friends. There is a big surprise at the end of the story. The illustrations are wonderful. They are colourful and there is a lot of detail. This is an enjoyable, fun story that also sends the message that sometimes, when you look for it, a gift might be more than it appears at the beginning. A great addition to a family or school library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.
