Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer by Kelly Jones

3.0

After Great-Uncle Jim dies, Sofia and her parents move from the city to care for his farm. Even though Great-Uncle Jim left the farm in a disorganized state, Sofia jumps into the task of getting it up and running again. She soon discovers Jim’s unusual chickens, which leads her on a funny journey in caring for them.
This epistolary novel is punctuated by hilarious illustrations and brief worksheets on the care of chickens. Not only does this book successfully include a variety of media to express the story, but also the main character is multiracial, which adds an important layer of diversity and multiculturalism. Fantasy and realistic readers will all have a laugh with this novel.
