A hard-bitten former search-and-rescue dog helps solve a complicated missing chicken case.

"Dirt, Sweetie, Poppy, and Sugar might be chicks, but they sure aren't chicken. They're the Chicken Squad, and it's up to them to figure out what Tail, the not-so-brave squirrel, is so afraid of. When he describes it as BIG and SCARY, that doesn't give much insight as to what is lurking beyond the coop. Can our feckless, fluffy heroes defeat something that could very well be--gulp--from out of this world?"--Page 4 of cover.

Sugar, Dirt, Sweetie, Poppy, and their mother, Moosh, live in a crowded chicken house until Sugar ventures out and finds a new home with a bathtub, a large bed, and even a massage table.

"When the Chicken Squad goes on a family vacation to a farm, there is a looming dark shadow that is pestering Sugar"-- It was supposed to be a nice chicken-family vacation to a farm. But Sugar is certain that she is being watched, and when Poppy's beloved shoe (the shoe that keeps her safe and snug) goes missing, Sugar is sure that this shadow is the culprit. How can the Chicken Squad tackle a shadow-- without ruining the family reunion?

Little Duck celebrates his first birthday with the other animals on the farm by copying their examples, from shearing off all his feathers to taking a mudbath, before enjoying Farmer Brown's yummy frosted maple cake.

Rhyming text offers advice on the best ways for toddlers to bounce.

As Farmer Brown prepares the house for Christmas, Duck tries to play Santa--but he gets stuck in the chimney, along with all the other animals who try to help.

Three friends spend a day together, despite their very different ideas about how to spend their time.

Las vacas del granjero Brown descubren una m�aquina de escribir en su establo y empiezan a hacer ultim�atumes. Cuando el granjero no responde, los animales van en huelga. When Farmer Brown's cows find a typewriter in the barn they start making demands, and go on strike when the farmer refuses to give them what they want.
