Here is a brief summary of what to expect from The Chicken that Soared.
I hope you'll find it interesting enough to make your purchase. Enjoy!
The Mysterious Snoring Egg
Mother Chicken spends most of her time sitting on her eggs, One, Two, Three, and Four. One, Two, Three, and Four are the same color. One, Two, Three, and Four are the same size. And One, Two, Three, and Four are all there, quietly sleeping in their shells.
After eating all she could, Mother Chicken returns to her dusty henhouse. Immediately she notices something different. The nest changed; the straw sits much higher. Gently she lifts the straw. There they are, One, Two, Three, Four, and … Five? She counts again, One, Two, Three, Four… And, yes, there IS an extra egg, egg Five!
Breaking News
Mother Chicken thinks Farmer Frank found Egg Five and placed it in her care. Mother Chicken loves her eggs, One, Two, Three, Four, and now Five, because it is what moms do. But Egg Five’s loud snoring sometimes keeps her awake.
Egg Five did not hatch on day four or day five. It just snored. Egg Five snores while Chick One, Chick Two, Chick Three, and Chick Four peep all day, every day. As if participating in one of Up and Down’s musical plays, a symphony of “peep”, “peep-peep”, “peep-peep-peep”, “peep-peep-peep-peep,” and “snore” fills the henhouse.
Chick One, Chick Two, Chick Three, and
Chick Four stop their enthusiastic peeping; the entire audience totally
awestruck. There, sitting in half a broken shell, rocks the biggest,
oddest-looking chicken ever to hatch in Farmer Frank’s henhouse!
A New Name and a New Game
Chick One, Chick Two, Chick Three, and Chick Four did not always get along with their brother Chick Five. Chick Five did not always get along with his brothers, Chick One, Chick Two, Chick Three, and Chick Four. Chick One, Chick Two, Chick Three, and Chick Four know Chick Five is a different. And Chick Five knew he was different.
He stands in front of a broken window
pane leaning against the back side of the coop and, seeing his reflection, he
states out loud, “I am Eagle One,” and it sounded terrific. He repeats again
with more conviction, “I am Eagle One!” With this affirmation, Eagle One stands
taller, shoulders back, head held high. Yes, this is excellent, and it is good
he is alone to avoid any mocking about his dream. “A new name means a new
game,” he declared. “Get ready world, I’m Eagle One!”
The Teacher Appears
It is
humbling to be back, scratching and pecking in the dirt with Chicken One,
Chicken Two, Chicken Three, and Chicken Four. On the outside, he plays the part
of a chicken, but inside he flies like an eagle. Eagle One needs a secret place
somewhere on Farmer Frank’s farm to practice his flying techniques without
anyone around who wants to try to steal his dream.
“Don’t give up,” he hears a voice speak. “You are my hero!”
Seeing and Believing
Wriggling through the deep grass, Parks pops up, grunting as she approaches. Eagle One recognizes her as one of Pinky’s kids - the one who wears a stocking cap.
For the next several days, Eagle One
trained under Parks’ guidance. Of course, it didn’t help when he arrived at his
chicken home each night and Chicken One, Chicken Two, Chicken Three, and
Chicken Four continue to mock him, “You can’t soar, you can only snore.” Parks
counsels him to love them and to leave their words behind. He does not have to
accept them as truth.
