Reach for this book when your child is stuck in a pattern of over-seriousness or needs a playful nudge to think about boundaries and identity. It is a perfect choice for diffusing a high-tension day with absurd, laugh-out-loud humor that highlights the silly side of farm life and human behavior. The story follows a group of Icelandic ladies who buy chickens to provide eggs, only to find the birds have started imitating their owners: knitting, going to the hair salon, and even joining the ladies for coffee. It is a whimsical exploration of what happens when we lose our sense of purpose to peer pressure and imitation. This book is ideal for children aged 4 to 8, offering a gentle satire on social behavior that parents will enjoy just as much as their little ones.
