Praise for Gladys the Magic Chicken:
A Kids' Indie Next List Pick
A Golden Kite Award Finalist
A Bank Street Best Children’s Book of the Year
A Texas Bluebonnet Award Nominee
"[A] magical (not to mention hilarious) tale . . . In the annals of
fabulous fowl, surely Gladys reigns supreme . . . Everyone's
gonna love it." —Booklist, starred review
"[A] knee-slapping, wing-flapping picture book romp . . . Rubin's
humorous narration strikes the perfect tone for reading aloud . . .
Cartoonishly zany." —Shelf Awareness
"Rubin and Rex fracture mythology left and right, with a
performance-worthy, aside-heavy text and comically dramatic digital
cartooning . . . Gladys’s feathered manifestation of that very
human desire to “see magic in the world” is nothing to cluck
at." —Publishers Weekly
"Written with a cheeky tone, this offbeat story puts a modern spin
on exaggerated archetypal characters . . . Will appeal to
elementary-age kids as well as adults . . . Flamboyant
illustrations, unexpected adventures, and larger-than-life
characters anchor this zany read-aloud." —Kirkus Reviews
"Sure to elicit more than a few laughs . . . The final lesson that
there is magic in ordinary things (Gladys the chicken, in this
case) is very sweet. Give this to the kid who has an obsession with
Ancient Greece and Egypt to scratch the itch for an entertaining
story set in a parody of those times. —The Bulletin of the
Center for Children's Books
