review 1: Meet Mary and Bert. They run the Chicken Run Rescue in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and if you think they rescue dogs or cats, guess again. The couple has opened their backyard and their home to chickens! Many are abandoned, some are rescued from illegal animal fighting – but however they get to Mary and Bert, they need help and are deeply loved upon arrival. Grab this book for a heart-warming true tale with a cast of crazy birds named Henrietta, Ranger and Billiam. Great pictures make this informative non-fiction book into a must read!Reviewed by: Heather Blake, Youth Services Librarian, Vernon Area Public Library
review 2: Just read this book as my token non-fiction of the month and I did enjoy it. Basically, I wanted to learn more about city dwellers who a... morere raising chickens on their roof or in their garden as a fresh source of eggs. But, this book is about a rescue home for the city chickens that escape, the peeps brought home from elem school kids each spring and the cock-fighting roosters that are saved and near death. After reading it, it makes it much, much harder to eat a chicken nugget, that's for sure. These rescued chickens become pets, are super smart, and are actually cuddly. I'm happy that there are people who love animals and care for them. Must say something about reading non-fiction, I always learn something! less
