Hoboken Chicken Emergency - Hardcover

Daniel and Jill Pinkwater have also collaborated on such picture books as Rainy Morning and Wallpaper from Space. Daniel has penned many other popular stories; he also reviews children's books for NPR and developed the new Chinwag Theater. The Pinkwaters live in Hyde Park, New York.

When young Arthur Bobowicz brings home a 266-pound live chicken instead of a turkey for Thanksgiving, listeners know they're in for a hilarious tale. Arthur names his new pet Henrietta and teaches her tricks using oatmeal cookies. When Henrietta runs away, Hoboken will never be the same. Pinkwater's radio background serves him well in his delivery of a contemporary children's story. His narration convinces listeners that it's perfectly reasonable to have a 266-pound pet chicken. Pinkwater throws out jokes without missing a beat or losing the listener. The only disappointing thing about this audiobook is that it ends too soon.
