Synopsis:

Emma, the plucky but foolish cluck, is back and about to demonstrate one more time that being a chicken is not all it’s cracked up to be. In her latest escapade, Emma is one game hen with a big problem. It’s the middle of winter and the chicken coop is freezing. Determined to find out how the other farm animals weather the weather, Emma sets off on a snowy trek that almost ends in flaky, feathery disaster. Along the way she provides plenty of laughs and, once more, unwittingly saves the day.

Reviews:
"The author tells Emma's barnyard adventure both with humor and with empathy. Text is quite simple, perfect for read-alouds and for young readers, yet challenging enough to make the story interesting and move along at a good pace. What adds zest to the story is the work of the illustrator. . . Readers will enjoy Spurll's humorous touches... "
-- CM Magazine

"This entertaining story, along with excellent and humorous illustrations by Barbara Spurll, is sure to keep readers turning the pages with laughter."
-- Lorgnette, Heart of Texas Literature Center
