The chicken brothers are back with a quick intro from JJ Tully himself!
I love this series - a little easier than the JJ Tully mysteries - but with all the humor.

Mä toivoin että tässä olisi ollut yhtä mainio käänne kuin ekassa osassa. Mutta ihan samaan tämä ei ehkä yltänyt (tai odotin liikoja). Silti, päätön kohellus ja lievästi kyllästynyt koira tarkoittavat, että luen seuraavankin osan.

This second Chicken Squad mystery has Dirt, Sugar, Poppy, and Sweetie helping a blue jay (otherwise known as a weird blue chicken) find her stolen house. They manage to solve the mystery and save the day in their usual creative way. It is sure to provide laughs among the early readers. Recommended for grades 1-3. You do not have to have the read the first book in the series.

This series is a hoot! Perfect for lower to mid-elementary aged kids, new chapter book readers, and for reading out loud.

My students loved this book as a novel study, it is fun and funny. They enjoy doing voices and playing out the story as well as the interactions between characters. I felt that this book wasn't quite as good as the first as the ending was kind of ... wonky. There was not a lot of explanation about what happened with one of the chicken squad characters which I felt was just a bit odd.

This feels stronger than the first one but is super adorable. Some good lessons packed into this book like sharing and don't be quick to make assumptions. Good read aloud to toddlers who love Click, Clack Moo and want something longer. Preschoolers who have started reading on their own would enjoy this. Readers can start here if they'd prefer.
