There's only one thing more frightful, or funny, than a band of pirate chickens: their feared and feathered leader, Redfoot. Pick up Pirate Chicken: All Hens on Deck for a laugh out loud story time!

Lily is no ordinary chicken. She dreams of a life off the farm where she can put her grand plans into action.

Her wish is granted when pirates recruit her and her fellow chickens and whisk them away to the open seas. Soon, Lily has taken charge and becomes captain of an all-chicken crew.

But when Lily faces a mutiny, will she change her ways, or be forced to squawk the plank?

      Big dreams and an even bigger ship turn a sweet intellectual chicken into the dread pirate Redfoot.On the farm, Lily is the hen that looks to the stars and wants more than a mere barnyard can provide. So when a rowdy band of buccaneers shows up to steal the poultry, she gleefully jumps onboard. With little effort the chickens commandeer the ship one night while the pirates are all ashore, and Lily takes on the name of Redfoot and the demeanor of a tyrant. Now mutiny is in the air, and if Lily's going to remain more than shark bait, she'll need to remember what's important in life and why she should value her crew. The book is chipper from fore to aft--the gleeful amorality of chickens aiming to plunder and steal is amusing and in keeping with the tone of the book. However, the cartoonish art with bright, peppy images means that, even at their most ferocious, the chickens never really look more than mildly peeved. Though there is little about this chicken/pirate hybrid to distinguish it from others in the overstuffed piratical picture-book flock, it remains an engaging enough romp.This band of merry swashclucklers shows that a sense of curiosity and willingness to learn can give you the tools you need to conquer any situation. Even mutiny. (Picture book. 4-7)
