Trouble
By Katherine Battersby
It is a very simple story line illustrated with black and white pencil drawings accented with some reds and browns throughout.
Life in and out of the henhouse is predictable and acceptable for the chickens until the capybaras show up. They are being hunted and need a refuge. The chickens reluctantly accept these, “wild animals” but insist that they follow four indisputable rules.
This is an excellent picture book for a classroom read aloud and discussion for grades K-3. It would also be a thoughtful read aloud for this same age group between an adult and their special child.
