This book was hard to read but I was able to get the words right. This is the story of Gwen the Hen. She has lived in a cage all her life and one day a tornado hits. You guessed it she gets free. Even though she is free she is scared in the bright world. She is befriended by Mateo a young boy and the story continues from there. I liked the illustrations as with the exception of a few pages they were very cheerful and well detailed. The Mateo character was very cute. My favorite part was Gwen trying to talk to the big chicken at the resturant. This added some humor to the book which I feel all children books need. It is a good story for 4-6 yr olds as with the tornado little ones may get scared. Also a good beginner reader book. The book was inspired by a series of tornados that hit an egg laying farm in Croton Ohio. I hope to see more books on the adventures of Gwen and Mateo.
