Book Description
Henrietta is no Turkey
When Arthur Bobowicz is sent out to bring home the family's Thanksgiving turkey, he returns instead with Henrietta -- a 266-pound chicken with a mind of her own. Thus begins the hilarious chain of events that has kept readers in stitches since Henrietta first pecked her way onto the scene in 1977. Revised and with brand-new art by Jill Pinkwater, this new edition of The Hoboken Chicken Emergency is sure to delight chicken-lovers of all ages.

Not the best of Pinkwater, but still a great book,
By
This review is from: The Hoboken Chicken Emergency (Paperback)
I didn't enjoy this book as much as Lizard Music or the Snarkout Boys and the Avacado of Death, but I found it on the whole to be a very enjoyable read... Much reccomended for Pinkwater fans, and seems to be a popular first book for people who've never read any D.M.P.

Started out well, but lost something near the end,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hoboken Chicken Emergency (Paperback)
This started out very funny in the first chapter and then never came close to that again. My son liked it, but he's 7. It was good to read around Thanksgiving time which is when we read it, and it plays into one of the Time Warp Trio Books, Summer Reading is Killing Me, which is why we got this book.

Chickens Need Our Love!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hoboken Chicken Emergency (Paperback)
The Hoboken Chicken Emergency was a really good book. It is a good book for third grade and up to read on their own. It takes place in Hoboken, New Jersey around Thanksgiving. It's about a boy named Arthur who goes to look for a turkey for Thanksgiving. The problem comes when he can't find one. Instead he ends up getting a 266 pound chicken named Henrietta. Arthur tries to keep the chicken as a pet but it runs away. Henrietta (the chicken) feels unwanted and creates diasters all over town. Read the book to find out what happens next. We thought the book was hilarious, funny, and exciting. We are nine and ten years old and we liked the book alot!
