Mr. Christie Book Award - Silver Seal, 2001
Emma, the plucky but foolish cluck, is back and about to demonstrate one more time that being a chicken is not all it's cracked up to be. In her latest escapade, Emma is one game hen with a big problem. It's the middle of winter and the chicken coop is freezing. Determined to find out how the other farm animals weather the weather, Emma sets off on a snowy trek that almost ends in flaky, feathery disaster. Along the way she provides plenty of laughs and, once more, unwittingly saves the day.
"This entertaining story, along with excellent and humorous illustrations by Barbara Spurll, is sure to keep readers turning the pages with laughter."
— Lorgnette, Heart of Texas Literature Center
