About This Book
Warren isn’t just any chicken—he’s a glasses-wearing explorer who’s tired of the boring farm life! When he sets off on a big adventure with an unhatched egg and a clever rat, he proves that even the most ordinary chicken can be extraordinary. But when his curious new friend Egg flies the coop, Warren will stop at nothing to bring him back safe.
