Dick King-Smith The Fox Busters
Yearling 0440402883 / 9780440402886 PAPERBACK Very Good
0440402883 Editorial Reviews n nFrom Publishers Weekly nWith the farmyard setting and animal characters of which he writes so masterfully, King-Smith once again creates an outstanding fantasy. The fox busters are three extraordinary pullets, whose heritage, upbringing and intelligence combine to make them attempt a daring plan. Their enemies, four smart poultry-loving foxes, have hatched a murderous plan of their own. While the odds seem to favor the carnivores, the chickens have discovered an ingenious way to harden their unlaid eggs and to use them as weapons. Suspenseful, engrossing, and so carefully structured as to render it entirely believable, the story is an ideal read-aloud, with something of interest for all ages. Illustrations not seen by PW. Ages 8-11. nCopyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. n nProduct Description nA community of chickens continually preyed on by hungry foxes is saved by the birth of three wonder chicks, who grow into magnificent flying machines and lead a climactic barnyard battle. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
