This is a K-3 supplement or homeschool study of chicken care that encompasses the standards for history, mathematics, and sciences. Written and illustrated by Stacy Tate who has been helping and teaching people about chickens for almost 20 years. This book is meant to teach as well as entertain and is filled with original colorful drawings. Children and adults alike can learn from this paperback that includes coloring pages, puzzle pages, and worksheets. For the parents who like to keep records of what the child has done for school requirements, dotted lines to cut on to free the worksheets from the spine have been added.
By the end of the book, your child will know more about chickens than most adults. Without giving too many spoilers, your child will know how to keep chickens healthy, how to spot health problems, how to pick feeders and waterers, and even know how to pick the right breed for your climate. Your child will also know what a landrace is, how chicken shows started, how chickens spread across the world, and chicken's role in human history (just to mention a few key points).
Full discloser, there are some hands-on activities listed in the book. However, they will not break the bank.
"CHICKENS!" is just one of many of Flock University's avenues to educate and inspire people of all ages to get back to our roots and have more food independence. Both Stacy Tate and Flock University is dedicated to authentic human made art and literature, promising to always be genuine and never use artificial software or programs to create books or art.
