The Trouble with Chickens by Doreen Cronin

I just love the book Cows that Type by Doreen Cronin. I was excited to see how she crafted her early chapter book about chickens and a detective dog. I have to admit that I just couldn’t get attached to the story.  The writing was clever yet I wondered if  young students would understand the humor.  There is a lot of dialog  and snappy sentences. This book may the kind of book that works best as a read aloud.
