On his birthday, Don Schmidt spends the day waiting patiently for his big surprise—a cake, presents, maybe a Chinese clown . . . . But instead, his batty parents get into their monthly argument. This time it's because his mother has to feed the chickens. It ends with her shouting the same thing as always about their Louisiana chicken farm: "I hate it here!"
What follows is Don's journey from obscurity to fame and back again, when he becomes the youngest kid to ever win the Horse Island Dairy Festival chicken-judging contest. Gradually, his mom notices that something strange is going on—everyone knows her son!—but once she realizes that Don has become the town celebrity, she sees that there may be benefits to living on a chicken farm. What she doesn't seem to see are the benefits of having a son like Don.
For Don, the contest is the beginning of a big, big adventure. It involves trips to New Orleans and Baton Rouge, fair weather friends, a missing sister, and one big secret. Readers will cheer for Don, who goes out of his way to see the good in everything.

reviewed Chicken Dance on January 04, 2008 Chicken Dance
This is a wonderful book about an ignored little boy who lives on a chicken farm and has crazy mean parents. So he turns to the chickens for companionship. I am so happy to see they changed the cover of this book to something more exciting. The copy I got from BEA just had boring chickens on it. Sooo, this book would be a 5 star book if the ending hadn't just dropped off. Literally it was like the author realized he was writing a kids' book & that it was getting too long, so he decided to stop. Bam, I'm done. I checked my book to see if I was missing pages or if something happened. It is by far the most unwrapped up ending for a kids' book I've ever read. That said, I still LOVED it. The characters are fabulous & the story keeps you guessing. And I laughed a lot & who doesn't love chicken humor?
