A barnyard’s change of menu

At Nuthatcher Farm, a rooster’s dissatisfaction with the usual chicken feed sparks an improvised culinary venture: the chickens make chips and salsa with vegetables from the farmer’s garden. The spicy aromas draw the other barnyard animals into plans for a fiesta, until the supplies disappear and the group has to consider a different cuisine. Aaron Reynolds’s picture-book setup turns food, resourcefulness, and shared celebration into the engine of a comic farmyard episode, with whimsical illustrations by Paulette Bogan.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books

Book overview

With whimsical illustrations by Paulette Bogan, Aaron Reynolds has created a hilarious picture book about one rooster's quest for culinary delight.

What happens at Nuthatcher Farm when the chickens get tired of the same old chicken feed? The rooster hatches a plan, of course! With a pinch of genius, a dash of resourcefulness, and a little pilfering from the farmer's garden, the chickens whip up a scrumptious snack of chips and salsa. When the rest of the barnyard gets a whiff of the spicy smells and want to join in, it can mean only one thing . . . FIESTA! But when the big day arrives, all their spicy southwestern supplies are gone! It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Nuthatcher have caught on to the flavor craze as well, and the only thing left for the animals to do is to try a new culinary style-ooh la la!
