This book definitely appeals to children because of the humorous mood and the fanciful plot. The plot is about a hen would has always dreamed about being a comedian at a nightclub. One day, she decides she no longer wanted to lay eggs and has to run away because the farmer threatens to eat her if she doesn't lay eggs. Along her travels, she runs into three other farm animals that share the same dream as her. They end up scaring off robbers at a house along their way and decide to make this house into a comedy club. I liked that these misfits were able to make their dream come true. I really liked how the author used a lot of jokes throughout the text. It was funny how the animals related their jokes to themselves, such as the cow saying, "I'm cow-culating what my next moove should be". I think that this book would be an entertaining read for young children, especially those that could understand and get a kick out of the jokes. The book, "Animal Crackers Fly the Coop" will have children rolling on the floor laughing. The animals tell jokes throughout the story that Primary children can retell to their friends. The jokes are very simple and easy for children to remember and retell. The animals throughout the story are very recognizable by all children. Most of the story is told in dialogue between the animals. The text of the story is very simple and words are very short. Some of the words involve the sounds that the animals make; children will love these new words. The text was always rhyming making the story very easy to read. The illustrations are very cartoon like. They have the same details of the animals on cartoon network or Nickelodeon. This story will have children telling jokes for days.
Give this to the bad joke teller in your family. You know you've got one, everyone does...

Lots of humor, but primary grades might not understand the humor.
