Summary: 5 Stars
O'Malley, Kevin. Gimme Cracked Corn & I will Share. Walker & Company. 2007.
A delightful series of jokes are weaved into a story about a chicken that searches for his idea of treasure, some "cracked corn". An illustration shows a chicken with its eyes closed and a word bubble with a picture of a corn cob and the word, "YUM"; in the next picture, the chicken stands with a very stern look and tells his friend George about the barn" where the treasure is supposed to be hidden. George replies, "You must be yolking". Chicken and George come to a road, "How did the chickens cross the road? You ask. They crossed at the light." The accompanying illustration shows both chickens waiting patiently at the stop light - the lit up sign says, "Don't Walk". Chicken and George hide in "a scary forest" and when a hawk attacks them, George says, "What do you call a chicken that can swim?" Chicken responds with, "I have no idea" so George yells, "DUCK!" The two chickens whose features and movements are remarkably expressive stand out boldly from their more muted backgrounds. Photoshop is used to fill in colors inside energetic black ink outlines. Children in kindergarten and up will enjoy getting the jokes, and if they miss some of the clever wordplay, will appreciate that upon repeated readings. The eye-catching book cover shows a chicken doing the can-can with some ears of corn. Wonderful!
Summary of Gimme Cracked Corn and I Will Share
One night Chicken had a dream about buried treasure--a treasure trove of corn.
And the corn is always sweeter on the other farm . . . or at least that's what Chicken thinks.
His friend George agrees.
Hopefully they can find it once they cross the road.
Will Chicken's corny treasure be all it's cracked up to be?
