"Little Chicken Tales" is the story of a small flock of Bantams whose loves and conflicts and social order parallel the family and society of the human race. They fight for the right to mate and reproduce themselves. They brood, protect and teach their young chicks, and when danger and death come, they sound the alarm, and are grief stricken. But they learn from their experiences, and they find ways to cope with the predators who threaten them. They also find their way into the feelings and thoughts of the person who feeds and cares for them.

The reader will love and care for them, too, sharing both their happiness and their grief. And their triumph over the threat to their lives.
