    About this ebook

    Yetta, beautiful Yetta, manages to escape from the butcher's shop. But now she is lost in Brooklyn—a strange place filled with rude rats and dangerous buses!

    !??????

    geVAHLT!

    Oh, dear!

    But then, brave Yetta saves a small green bird from a sneaky cat, and his friends, the wild parrots of Brooklyn, are very grateful.



    ¡Muchas gracias, gallina hermosa!

    ¡mooCHAS grahSEEas, gahYEEna ehrMOsa!

    Thank you very much, beautiful chicken!

    Has beautiful Yetta found her new home?

    Inspired by real events, this multilingual story by Daniel Pinkwater is a witty, warm, and wonderful read-aloud for any age.

    Author

    Daniel Pinkwater

    Daniel Pinkwater is the author and sometimes illustrator of more than 80 (and counting) wildly popular books. These books include Beautiful Yetta: The Yiddish Chicken, 5 Novels, The Yggyssey, Lizard Music and Adventures of a Cat-Whiskered Girl. He is also an occasional commentator on National Public Radio's All Thing Considered and appears regularly on Weekend Edition Saturday, where he reviews exceptional kids' books with host Scott Simon. Daniel also contributes to Wondertime, and has in the past been spotted on the pages of The New York Times Magazine, OMNI, and many other fine publications. In collaboration with Tony Auth, Daniel wrote an unfortunately short-lived comic strip, NORB, which was critically acclaimed by Jules Feiffer and Chaim Potok, and no one else. (It was really good, though.) Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Pinkwater grew up in Memphis, Chicago and Los Angeles, and studied art at Bard College. He lives in New York.

      I really like that the dialogue is in three languages, and that a phonetic translation is included in each speech bubble. The first book is probably wonderful, as it introduces readers to the understanding of feral parrots, and even a chicken, living free in Brooklyn. This story is pure syrupy fantasy.
    • 3/5
      That Yiddish-speaking chicken returns in this second picture-book devoted to her adventures, following upon her eponymous debut in Beautiful Yetta: The Yiddish Chicken.
