Wings: A Tale of Two Chickens

by James Marshall

Wings: A Tale of Two Chickens Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Sensible Harriet has to rescue silly Winnie from the clutches of Mr. Johnson, who Winnie fails to recognize as a fox. Never were two chickens more different than Harriet and Winnie. Harriet kept busy with many hobbies, while flighty Winnie was often bored. So when that sly fox Mr. Johnson happened by Winnies garden, she couldnt resist the chance to live a little and climbed into the basket of his balloon. Now its up to Harriet to save her foolish friend from Mr. Johnsons fricassee potand there are chases galore, hairsbreadth escapes, clever disguises, and lots more tomfoolery before she does. James Marshalls clever wit and lively sense of the absurd keep this hilarious romp rollicking along from start to cliff-hanging finish.

Synopsis:

From the creator of "George and Martha" comes this hilarious story of the friendship between two hens, one of which must save the other from the clutches of a sly fox. Full color.

About the Author

James Marshall (1942–1992) created dozens of exuberant and captivating books for children, including The Stupids, Miss Nelson Is Missing!, and the ever-popular George and Martha books. Before creating his canon of classic, hilarious childrens books, James Marshall played the viola, studied French, and received a masters degree from Trinity College. He also doodled. It was the doodles, and the unforgettable characters that emerged from them, that led him to his lifes work as one of the finest creators of childrens books of the twentieth century. In 2007, James Marshall was posthumously awarded the Laura Ingalls Wilder medal for his lasting contribution to literature for children.
