Review by School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 2-Two chickens open a diner with Dinah handling the customers and Rufus doing the cooking. As customers slowly trickle in, however, he realizes that what he is serving is not what they want. A mule wants hay, a crow wants worms, etc. In the end, he comes up with just the right meals and has some mishaps along the way. When a hungry fox comes in looking for a juicy chicken dinner, Dinah outsmarts him, and he ends up with a face full of custard. Kids will laugh at the zany cartoon illustrations that show the problems Rufus encounters when trying to satisfy his clientele. A lively, action-packed easy reader.-Erika Qualls, Ela Area Public Library District, Lake Zurich, IL (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
