* "A charmer of a chicken. . . Here's hoping that Peggy has many
more big adventures."
--Kirkus, starred review
* "Walker's ink and photo collage illustrations are dreamlike in
appearance. Admirers of Janet Morgan Stoeke's "Minerva Louise"
books (Dutton) will relish the chance to meet another charming
chicken."
--School Library Journal, starred review "The subtle color palaette
remains constant, regardless of Peggy's surroundings, exuding a
calm throughout that is emulated by the varied illustration
formats, the text, and Peggy herself."
--Horn Book Magazine "Walker creates a gorgeous, rain-washed
cityscape, inhabited by anonymous figures in muted colors and
photo-collaged images of passing buildings; the lone chicken,
walking confidently within the crowd, receives only casual
attention."
--Publishers Weekly --
