The Chicken Squad

The Chicken Squad by Doreen Cronin  95 pp.

This book is hilarious. Four chicks solve the mystery of the big, scary, round thing in the yard. When Tail, the squirrel, runs into the coop terrified of the strange object he has seen the chicks decide to figure out what it is and how to get rid of it. After questioning the frequently fainting squirrel, they decide that a UFO has landed to capture them and fear their mother has already fallen victim to the aliens. The intrepid chicks embark on a mission to defeat the intruders. Using their chicken ingenuity they launch an assault on the frightening object which happens to be a barbecue pit full of hot dogs. The story includes an introduction and epilogue by J.J. Tully, retired search-and-rescue dog.
