City Chickens

"Animal-loving city and country kids alike will find this worth clucking about." -The Bulletin
Just outside of downtown Minneapolis, follow the sound of crowing and you will find Mary Britton Clouse's Chicken Run Rescue. Over the years, Mary and her husband have given hundreds of homeless birds a safe place to rest until they can be adopted by caring families. Each chicken has a story to share, and the author (who adopted her own chicken) has crafted a spare, moving, and at times humorous text that will open young readers' eyes and also inspire them to help all creatures great and small.
