Petunia is not like other chickens. She loves nature and all the colors she finds. She has a little garden in the chicken yard and tries to stay out of the way of the other chickens. This book follows her adventures with the other chickens, the cat Macy, and their new owner whom she starts calling Silkie.The biggest trouble that Petunia finds herself in is with the other chickens. The leader and her daughter are insistent that Petunia should gossip, chase bugs, and roost just like everyone else. But that is so hard when Silkie is always bringing Petunia into the house to help with the remodel.The only thing that I had a little bit of a struggle with is some chapters ended in the middle of a conflict. Off the top of my head I can think of a scene where Petunia is confronted by the leader and going to get into an argument about where she has been and before Petunia can reply, the chapter ends.Beyond that, I really liked this story. It's a great children's story. I think this would be a great way to introduce kids to reading. I can't wait to find out what trouble Petunia gets herself into next.I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
