Este es un cuento encantador y gracioso sobre un pollo que aprende a hablar como nosotros, con consecuencias inesperadas. Los sorprendentes eventos que siguen intrigan a los niños pequeños y, al mismo tiempo, los alertan de una manera muy divertida sobre los peligros de ser demasiado rápidos para creer todo lo que escuchan. El ilustrador Jeff Jackson crea un mundo alegre y divertido, rico en color y expresión, en el que todo puede suceder. Este cuento es uno de los muchos cientos de historias de desarrollo sufíes recopiladas por Idries Shah de fuentes orales y escritas en Asia Central y Medio Oriente. Durante más de mil años, ha entretenido a los jóvenes y les ha ayudado a fomentar la capacidad de examinar sus suposiciones y pensar por sí mismos.

Idries Shah spent much of his life collecting and publishing Sufi classical narratives and teaching stories from oral and written sources in the Middle East and Central Asia. The tales he retold especially for children are published by Hoopoe Books in beautifully illustrated editions and have been widely commended - by Western educators and psychologists, the U.S. Library of Congress, National Public Radio and other media - for their unique ability to foster social-emotional development, thinking skills and perception in children and adults alike. Told for centuries, these stories express universal themes from the cultures that produced them, showing how much we have in common and can learn from each other. As noted by reviewers, such stories are more than just entertaining; familiarity with them provokes flexibility of thought, since each one contains levels of meaning that unfold in accordance with an individual's experience and understanding.
