Synopses & Reviews
One night Chicken had a dream about buried treasure—a treasure trove of corn.
And the corn is always sweeter on the other farm . . . or at least that’s what Chicken thinks.
His friend George agrees.
Hopefully they can find it once they cross the road.
Will Chicken’s corny treasure be all it’s cracked up to be?

Synopsis
When Chicken dreams of buried treasure, he and his pal fly the coop and set out on a journey to find the golden corn, in this scrambled retelling of a classic Eastern European folktale. Their eggs-traordinary adventure takes them across the road, through the woods, and to a distant barn where they hear of pigs that can fly and dreams that can feed the imagination. Packed with word play and over twenty puns, thanks to Kevin O'Malley's trademark humor, Chicken's adventure reminds us that sometimes we need to leave home to realize the things we really treasure can be found right back where we started.
