Review
Henrietta the chicken is very eggs-cited that her new picture book has been published. She has a problem in that she has not revealed to her publisher that she is a chicken and has been invited to a book festival. Mayhem ensues when the other authors in attendance see Henrietta. As in previous Henrietta books, puns abound. While children may enjoy listening to the story, they may not get the puns, though this could be used for an English Language Arts lesson. Digitally rendered illustrations include what seem to be some photographs as well. If children like the previous Henrietta books, they may like this one, but it is not a must purchase title.
