This is an adorable story of a chicken that is being left out because he doesn't have any feathers. All of the other chickens are beautifully adorned with "feathers". The featherless chicken ended up falling in some mud and getting plastered with some garbage by the wind. As the story goes along, the end reveales that all the chickens were featherless. It is a great story about fitting in and some of the hardships that accompany that. The book is written in a humorous manner. There are many fun, unique words that are used throughout the story. This book reminded me of "The Ugly Duckling" which is a more recognizable story.
I felt that the pictures were a bit bland and wouldn't catch the eye of a child. But the more I looked at them the more I started to appreciate them. The water color and the same details that I didn't notice the first time through grabbed my eye the second time while I was trying to analyze them.
In the end all the chickens are the same and become friends as expected.
