The Plot Chickens

Henrietta loves to read. When she clucks buk, buk, buk at the library, the librarian knows exactly what to recommend. Then Henrietta decides to write a book. With the help of her three aunties, she hatches a plot. But when Henrietta publishes her story, the critics say she's laid an egg! Is this the end of Henrietta's career as an author?

"When [her book] is rejected by a publisher, Henrietta decides to self-publish....Then she wanders into the library at storytime and sees that her book was chosen best of the year by the children....This offering works on two levels. It's a funny picture book that could be used as a manual on writing." — Ieva Bates, School Library Journal
