The Loopy Coop Hens

Submitted by Ms. Jill!
I love chickens. I like to hear them cluck, and watch them strut around and peck. And I love books about chickens, so I have always adored the silly Minerva Louise books by Janet Morgan Stoeke. Now Stoeke has written a NEW book about silly chickens: The Loopy Coop Hens! Midge, Pip, and Dot are hens who live on Loopy Coop Farm. They want to fly, but they don’t know how! The hens adore their rooster, Rooster Sam. He is tall, and handsome, and crows “cock-a-doodle-doo!” every morning from the top of the barn roof. But Rooster Sam will not tell the hens how he flies up to the roof. Midge, Pip, and Dot decide that they will spy on Rooster Sam one morning, to learn his secret, so that they can fly too. And they do learn Rooster Sam’s secret, but it’s not at all what they expected! Will the hens ever learn to fly? Your little chicks will love this funny story, with its easy-to-read words and simple story line. Stoeke’s colorful drawings perfectly capture the plump hens’ personalities, and their priceless expressions as they pursue their quest to fly.
