Cluck Cluck Cluck ... SPLASH!

A little boy wants to teach his pet chicken how to dive. The chicken is one smart cookie and he knows how to swim but he just cant get a handle on the diving part. With the boys unfailing encouragement again and again the chicken climbs up the ladder to the high dive takes a deep breath then utters Cluck cluck cluck then attempts to dive into the pool. But time after time the chickens dive ends up as a belly flop. How discouraging is that? After several of these failed attempts the average person (or chicken) would simply give up and move on to a lesser challenge. But not this chicken. No sir no way. This chicken backed by the boys unceasing encouragement keeps at it. And he keeps failing. But then a little girl named Betsy-Sue happens by and offers this sage advice: Dont look down! Bingo! That advice along with the boys unwavering encouragement and the chickens indomitable spirit was all it took for the chicken to finally perform the perfect dive. This story told in verse and enhanced with fantastic full-color illustrations by Donny Crank will delight readers and listeners ages 4 and up. And its message is loud and clear: Never never never give up! Includes an inspirational foreword by comedian Marty Allen.
