Lynn Brunelle and George Shannon, Chicken Scratches: Poultry Poetry and Rooster Rhymes (Chronicle Books, 2010)
Chicken-related silliness for the preschool set that is, for the most part, good stuff. Every once in a while, the poetry derails itself something fierce:
“We chickens are a time trip,
we're visions from the past—
we're living, breathing relatives
of creatures long, long past.”
(“Time Traveler”)
(Good if you're teaching repetition, but not so at all if you're teaching poetry; there are few thi...more

This book of chicken oriented jokes and poetry is gross, funny, and silly. The variety of rhymes makes this book useful as part of a poetry introductory unit, but there are other joke books and silly poetry books better suited to the task.

Super funny, short little poetry book with great illustrations. I laughed out loud on some of the poems and pictures. Right before I read this I read a picture book with the title Chicken Butt--I think that added to the fun of it all. :)
This is an utterly charming collection of poultry-themed poetry - very short poems with fun and perfectly matched illustrations. You could share these poems with children of all ages; there is something for everyone.
Clever, creative, funny and fresh as a new-laid egg, this book of chicken-related poems entertains from start to finish, accompanied by excellent, adorable illustrations worth clucking about.
Hilarious poems, clever word play, and charming illustrations-- all about chickens. My favorite-- Chickie Teriyaki, the sumo superstar.
