Buffalo Wings

Like its companion volume, Chicks and Salsa, this barnyard send up is a snackers delight. It invites kids to laugh out loud at the story and cook up some stories of their own to go with favorite snacks as a creative writing exercise. In this one, everybody at Nuthatcher Farm is gathering to watch football and eat themselves silly. The ducks are bringing quackamole. The pigs are bringing nachos. Rooster wants to bring buffalo wings and sets out to get some--from the buffalo. But then he rereads his recipe and finds that in addition to garlic, vinegar, ketchup, and hot sauce the vital missing ingredient is derived from body parts of his close relatives! He slinks back to the wide-screen TV and shares chuck-wagon chili, pizza with pineapple, onion rings and jalapeno hush puppies with his friends. The end paper has a recipe for buffalo-free buffalo wings (which do contain chicken wings however) that will encourage all readers to start cooking up reading. The inside front cover has a recipe for Halftime Jalapeno Hush Puppies that pack a punch too.

Excellent and a great follow up to Chicks & Salsa. My students loved it.

This is a really cute book that I noticed in the new book section of the library. The rooster needs a spicy snack for the big game. He goes looking for buffalo wings and gains a vegetarian alternative and some new friends. A very cute book with great pictures. It was just absurd enough to keep my 8 year olds attention. I would recommend it for 2nd grade and below.

I bought this book for all the young children on my holiday list this year after I read it! The message is charming and the illustrations are exquisite. Highly recommended.

My son Jacob, 6 years old, loves Buffalo Wings. He took it into school for his day of "show and tell." The teacher read it to the class and it was a big hit. Not only is the story cute but, the illustrations are so colorful they really hold my sons attention. He loves trying to find the mouse on each page. Every time we eat out, he asks the waiter if they serve Buffalo Wings and then giggles!
