Chicken Frank, Dinosaur!
by SK Wenger, illustrated by Jojo Ensslin

In this quirky tale with a STEM foundation, Chicken Frank wants to convince his doubting barnyard friends that he is a dinosaur. Cluckity-roar!  But when results of a DNA test inspire Frank to hold a reunion with toothy distant relatives, will Frank become a tasty chicken nugget?

Chicken Frank, Dinosaur! offers a perfect blend of humor and information in its exploration of evolution, extinction, and scientific debate. Wrapped up with a surprise, yet satisfying, ending, Chicken Frank and his barnyard pals discover friendship and family can be found in unexpected places.

This comic-book style picture book is for dinosaur and animal lovers everywhere.


"An amusing and engaging story with a solid educational message about the science of evolution. The bright and humorous illustrations complement the text of the story really well, and children are sure to be both entertained and informed as they read it." -- San Fransisco Book Review

A book for young readers that will "stir some fun into the pedagogy." -- Kirkus Reviews
