Reviews* "A charmer of a chicken. . . Here's hoping that Peggy has many more big adventures." - Kirkus, starred review * "Walker's ink and photo collage illustrations are dreamlike in appearance. Admirers of Janet Morgan Stoeke's "Minerva Louise" books (Dutton) will relish the chance to meet another charming chicken." - School Library Journal , starred review "The subtle color palaette remains constant, regardless of Peggy's surroundings, exuding a calm throughout that is emulated by the varied illustration formats, the text, and Peggy herself." -Horn Book Magazine "Walker creates a gorgeous, rain-washed cityscape, inhabited by anonymous figures in muted colors and photo-collaged images of passing buildings; the lone chicken, walking confidently within the crowd, receives only casual attention." -Publishers Weekly, "A charmer of a chicken. . .
