Chicks and Salsa

Bloomsbury Children’s Books

Illustrated by Paulette Bogan

What happens at Nuthatcher Farm when the chickens get tired of the same old chicken feed?  The rooster hatches a plan!  With a pinch of genius, a dash of resourcefulness, and a little pilfering from the farmer’s garden, the chickens whip up a scrumptious southwestern snack of chips and salsa.  But when the pigs and ducks get a whiff and want to join in on the culinary creativity, it can lead to only one thing. . .FIESTA!

“Scrumptious!”

— Cleo Lion, Star of Jim Henson’s Between the Lions

“Not only is this book funny, it’s culturally tapped-in. Reynolds punctuates his wry, snappy text with the kind of knowing running jokes that kids love. Even confirmed macaroni-and-cheese eaters will devour this literary fandango.”

— Publishers weekly

“A definite purchase for any library.”
