While it borders on the silly, who can resist a tale with chicken detectives named Dirt, Sweetie, Poppy, and Sugar? Although humorous wrong assumptions complicate their investigative strategy, the Chicken Squad bumbles its way to finding the "weird blue chicken's" missing home, restoring peace and order in their community. Very entertaining — a good choice for reluctant readers. The Chicken Squad is back for its second (mis)adventure. Business is booming for Dirt, Sugar, Sweetie, and Poppy. When a weird blue bird flies into Chicken Squad headquarters squawking on about a house-napper (yes, house-napper), it is once again up to the squad to uncover who is up to no good. Illustrations.
