Every day, Sylvia collects eggs from her five chickens: Sue, Olga, Clara, Doris, and Trudy, and every day, her grandma turns those eggs into delicious omelets. But one day, Trudy says no! Sylvia and her grandma cannot figure out why Trudy is being so moody, so they set out to discover the reason. Is Trudy sick? Why won't she eat her chicken feed? She always did before. And why, oh why, is Trudy screeching and squawking so much? When they discover the answer, Sylvia gains new respect for stubborn Trudy and comes up with an egg-cellent solution. Informative and entertaining, Jane Sutton's tale of Broody Trudy serves as a playful introduction to agrarian life and the silly antics of chickens. The illustrations highlight the humor of the story, and the chickens' facial expressions are hilarious! Perfect for a classroom discussion on farming and raising chickens, this is an egg-straordinary addition to any reading unit.
