Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GREAT gift for the hip "chick" in your life!
Review: My co-worker received this as a birthday gift, and we howled all day! I WILL purchase one for myself and perhaps other single gal pals of mine! I don't know how she finds all the materials for the settings she photos the chicks in, it's a very creative, cute concept. But the humor and wit she uses in the captions on each page is what really tops this "work of art" off. They really capture the essence of us urban gals (and some chickens, too)! hip, hip hooray! Thanks for the smile!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT LITTLE BOOK
Review: My daughter came home late one night and just had to show me the latest book she bought. After looking at just a couple of pages, I was wide awake and cracking up! I immediately bought a few copies to give to friends for Christmas and each copy was a hit! Funny pictures, funny captions - we just love it! Amazon has the best price on this book and it's worth every penny - enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Do the Chicken Dance
Review: Not every one will GET this book. It is sort of like puns - and how some people like Seinfeld, and some hate him, etc. But this book is totally imaginative and artistic. Personally, I laughed hard. Put it down. Picked it up and laughed again. It is particularly funny if you used to play with those little fuzzy chickens made of fuzz and glue from the Easter baskets.

If your sense of humor is somewhat whacky, the book is more than well worth it. Besides, it will make you smile.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: all sister agnes knew...
Review: nyu allum sloan tanen had a display of her chicken diarama's up at the school's washington square windows. the best part of my day is walking by those windows and seeking cute, fuzzy chicks accompanied by biting wit. this book, this concept, is sheer brilliance. dark humor is never as funny as when accessorized by bright colors. you must own this book; it is guaranteed to make your day better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN
Review: OMG!!!!! THIS IS one of the funniest things i have ever ever ever seen! You definitely will prove you have a sense of humor if you can "get" this one! It has the most funny photos of toy chickens posing in life situations and with funny captions about what is going on. TRULY HILARIOUS. **NOT** a book for kids. this is a perfect gift for someone who is hard to buy for with a great sense of humor. You will spend hours looking the pictures over and laughing at the captions. Magnificent!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PERFECT gift for the urban neurotic...
Review: Or anyone with a sense of humor. The joke is literally on us as Tanen explores those things we think about but are ashamed to admit we think about. Tanen is a like cathartic Gary Larson. Each page reveals the darker side of the women we recognize - whether it's ourselves, our sisters, our girlfriends, our best friends, or our mothers.

I can't wait for the next one!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Beware of Bitter Chicks bearing baggage
Review: Shallow birds and shallow words. This little chick profers petty nihilisim posing as ironic humor. Unfortunately it lacks any real wit or insight. A gift of this book would be the perfect underhanded compliment for your annoying sister in law.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: perversely brilliant
Review: The Far Side meets Sex in the City. It's the funniest thing I've read since Gary Larson retired. Thank heavens for Tanen. I don't have to worry about Christmas presents this year. (Okay, at least the smaller presents are taken care of. For the adults.)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: More cute than clever
Review: These foul fowl are nice to look at but exhibit some rather mean behavior. Decently photographed, a sharper wit might have made this book better. More childish than child-like.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Fluff without the fun
Review: This "storybook for adults" (BTW- which is highly questionable on both claims)makes Chicken Little seem like Madame Bovary. It is not even remotely funny, and highly offensive to anyone with a discerning intellect. Jokes so obvious and dumb even Carrot Top would cringe.
