Hoboken Chicken Emer

Hoboken Chicken Emer by Pinkwater, Manus D.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780133924992.

The Hoboken Chicken Emergency was a really good book. It is a good book for third grade and up to read on their own. It takes place in Hoboken, New Jersey around Thanksgiving. Its about a boy named Arthur who goes to look for a turkey for Thanksgiving. The problem comes when he cant find one. Instead he ends up getting a 266 pound chicken named Henrietta. Arthur tries to keep the chicken as a pet but it runs away. Henrietta (the chicken) feels unwanted and creates diasters all over town. Read the book to find out what happens next. We thought the book was hilarious, funny, and exciting. We are nine and ten years old and we liked the book alot!
