The illustrations are charming.  I’m not sure the story is as charming.  Times are hard in the village when a young girl finds a chicken which seems to have fallen off a truck.  Markings on a broken crate indicate that the chicken belongs to someone named Izzy Pippik.  The girl gets permission to keep the chicken until she can locate its rightful owner.  She protects both the hen and her eggs from those who would want to eat them, insisting that they must be cared for until their owner is found.  Soon there is a flock over-running the village, and bringing in strangers curious to see the spectacle, until business is booming again.  By the time Izzy Pippik finds his way back to the village, he decides to give them to the village.  It’s not a bad story; I’m just not sure kids are going to care.
