Product Description
Another delightful, true story by "the Man who love Birds". Knowing that snowy white ducks seldom sit on their eggs for the full incubation time, the Man who loves Birds decides to have Silky the chicken sit on newly laid duck eggs and hatch them. When the eggs begin to hatch, they are taken back to the duck so that she raises her own offspring, however, one egg is left with Silky so that she too can have a "child". Silky is surprised to see that her chick is different than any other she has had and raises her as her own. One very important lesson is stressed that the chick is not to go near the pond because "chickens cannot swim". However, the chick falls into the pond and discovers that she is not a duckling but a "swimming chicken". On every page, the story teller is hiding.

Another Great one from Paul Adshead June 12, 2007
Beautiful book....Fun and as always the author sends you on a search for an answer as you finish the book.. I am not sure who loves these books more, me or the children....

My daughter enjoyed having this book read to her and now enjoys reading it on her own. The hidden object on every page makes it engaging and hard to put down! Fun for all ages.

Arrived quickly and in great condition. This is a nicely written book with beautiful detailed pictures. The author does a wonderful job of giving the animals a voice. My 10 year old especially liked trying to find the hidden picture in every scene.

I was so crazy about finding the mouse that I was dreaming about them at night. Regarding the sixth name, look on the first page where the publishing co. is named. The man who loves birds is reading the newspaper. Turn the book upside down and at the top of the page is the name Alonzo. Now I have a question: on the second to last page (So Nugget stayed with Silky), where is the mouse? Is just his head peaking out? Would love to know more about this author. Where is he from? Perhaps in a better world he will write more books to entertain young minds.
Thank you Mr. Adshead March 8, 2000

Paul Adshead's books are my very favorite kids books, as an adult. I didn't discover this author until i was at a friend's house and had nothing to do...so i picked up the book on the coffee table, The Chicken That Could Swim. The author draws you into his world, and immediately you know if you have something very important in common, a hope for the future where animals would be at peace with man, and man at peace with the animals. Thank you Mr. Adshead for writing these books for very large kids also known as grown ups!
