Cancel your dinner plans and dig in to Thundercluck! by Paul Tillery IV and Meg Wittwer. This is the first book in a hilarious new series stuffed with Norse mythology, black-and-white illustrations by the dozen, and a superhero chicken ready to ruffle some feathers. When danger calls...BAGAW! calls back! An evil chef faces off against the god Thor, and a hen's egg is caught in the crossfire. It hatches into a powerful chick called Thundercluck, beloved by the gods but a target for evildoers everywhere. When the Under-Cook threatens to make everyone into rotisserie, there's only one chicken who can scramble his scheme. Thundercluck! Half mortal. Half god. All-natural chicken.--
The illustrations, rhymes, and mirth are all fun, but they don't save Thundercluck! from feeling more like a treatment for an animated film rather than a complete children's book.
