Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same: The Life and Times of Some Chickens 
asked by lovieduvie on November 29, 2006 3:54 PM
Chickens show off their human side in Sloane Tanen's irresistible dioramas.
With more personality than most people have to spare, New York artist Sloane Tanen's tiny yellow chickens negotiate the tricky modern world, filled with three-headed blind dates, menacing KFCs, playground popularity battles, and annoyingly crowded yoga classes. They perch amid doll furniture, in scenes photographed in glorious color and brilliantly captioned- and their lives will strike you as strangely familiar...
Charming, spiky with off-kilter wit (or waxing jobs gone terribly wrong), and somehow larger than life, these chickens win the hearts of all who behold them.

Sorry, but I bought this book with quite high expectations of being intrigued and entertained and I found it really boring.

I learned the hard way. He was late..and I popped into the local bookstore and spotted this. I like chickens..so I had to pick it up..and I couldn't put it down! Hysterically funny! So I bought it. Naturally when "he" showed up he asked what was in the bag..not thinking about the title...I showed it to him. He didn't get it..or a second date for that matter. I went home and drank wine and laughed my rear-end off! A must have for men or women. Has nothing to do with being bitter or having baggage..just funny life and times of some chickens...

This book is one the funniest things I have seen in a long time. It is so absurd that it is hilarious. It is going around our office and a few of us are doubled over with laughter while some look at it with a puzzled smile and and call it cute or fun. I never realized I have a sense of humor that not everyone can appreciate. Actually, explains a lot. For those who get it, this book is a must have!

My male and female friends alike all laugh and delight in this book. It makes a great gift for a random occasion or to cheer someone up. I really enjoy creative art and picture books, and this is one of the most charming I've seen.

Not every one will GET this book. It is sort of like puns - and how some people like Seinfeld, and some hate him, etc. But this book is totally imaginative and artistic. Personally, I laughed hard. Put it down. Picked it up and laughed again. It is particularly funny if you used to play with those little fuzzy chickens made of fuzz and glue from the Easter baskets.
If your sense of humor is somewhat whacky, the book is more than well worth it. Besides, it will make you smile.
