Beat Feet, Chicken, Chickens - Paperback

by Catherine Gleason (Author), Kelly Clarke (Author)

When the barn doors swing open each morning, some chickens are happy to stay close to home-but others can't resist the call to explore! Follow a flock of free-range adventurers as they beat feet beyond the barnyard and into the wider world.

With every step, these curious chickens move with purpose-beating their feet across the farm, through the fields, and into places they've never been before. But adventure comes with real challenges. From a startling encounter with a bear to dodging cars on the road near their farm, these brave birds must beat feet fast to stay safe!

Through playful rhymes and an irresistible "Beat Feet" refrain that young readers will chant along with, this story celebrates the contrast between homebodies and roamers. Children will learn that every chicken has their own comfort zone-and that's perfectly okay. But when danger appears, there's only one thing to do: Beat feet, chicken, chickens!

Perfect for read-alouds, farm enthusiasts, and little adventurers ages 3-7, this rhythmic tale will have children cheering "Beat feet!" whenever they spot chickens near roadsides-a playful reminder to stay safe and keep moving.

Dedicated to independently owned free-range egg farmers who give their flocks the freedom to roam.
