She organizes.With her flock of tornado survivors, a French bantam rooster named Stuart, and a second-grade class who can't believe Congress doesn't know this already, Fannie marches on Washington to make the case before the entire US Congress that chickens are animals, too. She brings a scientist. She brings children. She brings a bullhorn and a dance.Funny, spirited, and surprisingly moving, Chickens Are Animals, Too! is the story of one chicken who decided not to wait for someone else to fix things.For readers ages 8–12, animal lovers, and anyone who's ever thought the world could use a little more justice.
