Arthur Bobowicz's family likes to celebrate Thanksgiving in the traditional way, including the turkey. This year something goes wrong - the butcher loses the order for the Bobowicz's turkey and Arthur can't find a bird for dinner in all of Hoboken. Things look bad until Arthur meets a mad professor with a live 266-pound chicken. Arthur's mother is unwilling to cook the 266-pound chicken, which is fine with Arthur who has grown fond of the bird. He names her Henrietta. Henrietta's appearance unsettles the population of Hoboken; then makes them fearful, and finally causes a panic. Reason and good will save the day as the citizens cooperate to reunite Arthur and Henrietta in a heart-warming story of a boy and a chicken facing life in the big city. The book is approximately 6 1/4 X 8 1/2 inches in size and contains 83 pages. The jacket price is $7.95.
