Summary: Author not "chicken" to raise issue about factory farms
Comment: Children will learn the differences between chickens raised on a small farm versus a factory chicken farm where 100,000 chickens may be cooped up in one barn with no sunlight. The author also honestly notes that factory farm chickens have meat and eggs that are less tasty than home-raised chickens. The section on breeding chickens selectively may not provide enough detail to be understandable to the intended age of the reader, but the book can provide a springboard for discussing the pros and cons of how animals are raised for food.
