In this book, readers will learn about a unique animal shelter in North Minneapolis, called Chicken Run Rescue. It provides shelter to chickens who may have been abandoned, maltreated, or have escaped from someone's yard. Written by Christine Heppermann, this book tells the story of several chickens who have lived (or may still be there) at Chicken Run. It also describes how the shelter got started, and how it operates each day. Excellent color photographs and a colorful layout enhance the enjoyment of this book. It could be used in classes studying farm/city animals; or as a model text for writing nonfiction at the upper elementary or middle school level. It even offers food for thought for educators with a page discussing alternatives to baby-chick hatching units. Overall, it is an excellent book on a unique subject.
