"We can all agree that chickens are seemingly uncomplicated creatures, right? Not according to this book. In this fun and empowering tale, Edna, “the very first chicken,” is fierce, feminine and fearless. She is unafraid of what most other dinosaurs in the forest fear: Tyrannosaurus rex. As hungry T. rex stomps around looking for his breakfast, he spots Edna. And she doesn’t budge. She remains true to her character and reminds us that despite our size, we, too, can be powerful and daring. (For ages 4 to 8)"
