Description
From the duo behind How to Talk Like a Bear comes a hilarious new picture book!
You may think talking like a chicken is all clucking and bawking and flapping your arms, but it's actually far more complicated than that. Like all languages, it has many intricacies. For example, chickens also peep and ruffle their feathers. Very complex.
Told in the same fourth-wall-breaking style of How to Talk Like a Bear, a hilarious little chicken guides the reader through important phrases and situations so that all readers are prepared to wow their family members and various farm animals with their perfect chicken prose. It may even come in handy in the off chance a peaceful farm is threatened by a menacing fox!
How to Talk Like a Chicken is a perfect read-aloud and a great gift for any child looking to expand their worldview into the vast culture of the Chicken language.

About the Author
Charlie Grandy is an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning television writer and producer known for his work on Saturday Night Live, The Office, and The Mindy Project. He lives in Los Angeles with his family. Alex Griffiths has been drawing pictures for as long as he can remember. In his childhood, he loved nothing more than surrounding himself with pens and paper, scribbling for hours to create sea monsters, flying creatures, monkeys, and ghosts on the back of old cereal boxes. Thirty years later, not too much has changed. Now working as a children's illustrator and graphic designer in Toronto, Alex combines pen and ink with watercolor and digital textures to create his illustrations. Alex's debut author-illustrated picture book, The Bug Collector, was published in 2019 with Andersen Press.
