4.5 love the cover. Sinclair is the perfect found family/adoption story of a velociraptor who thinks he's a chicken and protects his siblings from bullies. Listened as an audiobook, great to listen to in the car after a bad day in school. It's uplifting and fun. Good message.......more

Goodreads review by Molly on August 05, 2024

I loved Edna the first chicken, and this book in the same vein did not disappoint! Charming and funny with great kid-friendly pictures. A raptor egg hatches amongst a family of chickens and joins the family, protecting them from danger.......more
