BOOK RECCOMENDATIONS 4th Grade – 8th Grade Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer by Kelly Jones Twelve-year-old Sophie Brown feels like a fish out of water when she and her parents move from Los Angeles to the farm they’ve inherited from a great-uncle. But farm life gets more interesting when a cranky chicken appears and Sophie discovers the hen can move objects with the power of her little chicken brain: jam jars, the latch to her henhouse, the entire henhouse.... And then more of her great-uncle’s unusual chickens come home to roost. Determined, resourceful Sophie learns to care for her flock, earning money for chicken feed, collecting eggs. But when a respected local farmer tries to steal them, Sophie must find a way to keep them (and their superpowers) safe. Told in letters to Sophie’s abuela, quizzes, a chicken-care correspondence course, to-do lists, and more, Unusual Chickens is a quirky, clucky classic in the making.

Try out one or all of these classics.
Which one is your favorite?
LITTLE BO PEEP HAS LOST HER SHEEP
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn’t know where to find them;
Leave them alone, and they’ll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.
Little Bo Peep fell fast asleep
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were still a-fleeting.
DIRT MADE MY LUNCH
(adapted from original song by S. Van Zandt)
Dirt made my lunch, dirt my lunch
Thank you dirt, thanks a bunch
Cause dirt you made my lunch
A farmer’s plow, tickles the ground
You know the Earth has laughed, when wheat is found
It’s harvested, and then its ground
For making bread to munch on down
A lush green beard, grows from the land
Out from the ground, the grass will stand
But under hoof it must bow for making milk by way of a cowPERFORM-IT: Farm Tunes
