Erica S.
Perl is
an award-winning children's book author. Her new picture book, Dotty, illustrated by Julia
Denos, was published by Abrams in August, 2010. Dotty was called "a
charmer" by Kirkus Reviews and was selected as a featured back-to-school
book by Barnes and Noble for its national campaign. Erica is also the
author of Chicken
Bedtime is Really Early (starred review, Booklist), Ninety-three In My Family
and Chicken Butt!,
the laugh-out-loud, read-it-again hit.
Description of Chicken Butt's Back
In this cheeky (sorry!) sequel to the wildly fun Chicken Butt!,
the young jokester and his chicken muse are back, but this time they're
trying to trick Mom. She thinks she has caught on to the gag, but as
she distractedly does the grocery shopping, she falls victim to a flurry
of jokes using homonyms and homophones—words such as "dear" and
"deer," and "which" and "witch." Wordplay has never been so much fun.
Like Chicken Butt!, this story encourages children to participate in a call-and-response reading format that reinforces their reading skills.
