The Hoboken Chicken Emergency Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Henrietta is no Turkey

When Arthur Bobowicz is sent out to bring home the family's Thanksgiving turkey, he returns instead with Henrietta — a 266-pound chicken with a mind of her own. Thus begins the hilarious chain of events that has kept readers in stitches since Henrietta first pecked her way onto the scene in 1977. Revised and with brand-new art by Jill Pinkwater, this new edition of The Hoboken Chicken Emergency is sure to delight chicken-lovers of all ages.

Synopsis:

Arthur is sent to find a Thanksgiving turkey, but returns with a 266-pound chicken with a mind of its own in a fresh new look at everyone's favorite feathered tale. B&W illustrations throughout.
