Zoey the chicken persists in her plans to travel to outer space with her best pal, Sam the pig. Pip the mouse is not so enthusiastic: “Sounds dangerous,” he warns. “Not dangerous,” counters Zoey. “An adventure!” Each of the other invited farm animals add to Pip’s skepticism with their own remarks, but that doesn’t dampen Zoey’s spirit—or her imagination, which is what she and Sam use to get off the ground (along with a few balloons). A patterned text and excellent pacing, along with the comical illustrations, make this a great read aloud choice. (Ages 3–7)

Zoey isn’t like the other chickens. She has dreams. She has plans. And she has a best friend, Sam the pig, who will join her on her wild adventures . . . if he gets to eat some pie along the way.

How will Zoey and Sam get from the barn to the stars? Will Zoey be the first chicken in space? Will Sam get a snack? One thing is certain: Zoey always finds a way.

Author Adam Lehrhaupt and illustrator Shahar Kober bring out-of-this-world energy and humor to this bright, funny tale of imagination, friendship, determination . . . and one truly adventurous chicken.
