About This Book

Chicken Chuck eats a big blue seed, and a blue feather sprouts magically in the middle of his forehead! It grows bigger and bigger and bigger, and Chicken Chuck grows bossier and bossier and bossier — until one day the farm animals discover a circus horse that has two blue feathers on its head.

This quirky story by classic children's author Bill Martin Jr has been reissued here with whimsical illustrations by Steven Salerno, which were described in Kirkus Reviews as "a spectacular debut."
