Filled with bold illustrations and wry humor, this twist on the ugly duckling tale places a chicken in the lead role. The chicken has no feathers and he longs to play with the other beautiful chickens in the yard, but they turn him down, ridiculing him for his bare skin. When he discovers a creative camouflage for his paltry plumage, however, the other chickens allow him to join them on a boat ride, never expecting that a surprising accident will change the way they see themselves and the (formerly) featherless chicken.

Artie was a happy little lion, and Julie was a happy little rabbit—until one day Julie was sent to the grassland to eat grass, and Artie was sent to the grassland to eat . . . rabbit! Distracted from their destinations, they both discover a delicious jellyberry patch. Driven by a sudden storm into a nearby cave, they become friends before they know they are meant to be enemies. Each returns home with a new friend, a tuft of each other's fur as a keepsake, and a surprising story to tell their parents. A unique design adds depth to this clever tale—when Artie and Julie are apart their parallel stories are told on separate split pages, but when the two become friends the pages join together as well. Filled with playful art that adds a whimsical tone, this amusing story encourages young readers to overlook differences and demonstrates that fear should never be an obstacle to friendship.

One day, a featherless chicken meets four chickens with splendid plumage. He wants to be their friend, but they look down upon him because he doesn’t have any feathers. Dejected, the featherless chicken falls into a mud pile, and soon so many leaves and papers are sticking to him that the four chickens do not recognize him and want to be his friend because of his interesting plumage. When his feathers fall off, the other chickens learn that appearances can be deceiving and that friendship is about more than what is on the outside. Un día, un pollo desplumado se encuentra con cuatro pollos de un plumaje espléndido.
