Hooty McTooty Discovers True Beauty Anne Thompson

Pull on your PJs and curl up with Hooty to read a tail about friendship and beauty. This Seuss-like story in rhyme with bright illustrations for kids of all ages takes a humorous swipe at our airbrushed society. A lonely little hen named Emma embarks on a makeover, thinking it will guarantee friendship. She goes to a makeover artist named Raider who promises to give her whatever she pays for. At his Bird Body Shop he nips and tucks and snips and liposucks, transforming the hen into a birdie bod hotty. Now renamed Hooty McTooty, the chicken is voted Miss Poultry with banner and crown and tours the country with limo top down. But even though she's named cover bird of the Barnyard Gazette, she still has no friends, for Hooty McTooty had gotten a little too uppity snooty. She discovers that true beauty is more than feather deep; it's love that you give, it's joy that you reap. This delightful "tail" will make you giggle as you watch the transformation of the self-absorbed Hooty McTooty into a caring hen with friends who make her happy and happy again. "Colorfully delightful and carries the story line at an easy pace." Jewel Sample, "Flying Hugs and Kisses."
