Chicken Sunday by Patricia Polacco

Chicken Sunday is a multicultural story about three children who wanted more than anything to buy Miss Eula an Easter hat that she has been admiring in Mr. Kodinski’s hat store. The children want to show Miss Eula how much they appreciate the delicious fried chicken she makes for them every Sunday. They had saved their money for weeks  but realized that they would not have enough money to buy the hat before Easter. They decide to go to Mr. Kodinski’s store and ask him if they could sweep up his shop to earn the rest of the money. As they passed through the back alley of the store, some older kids came running through and threw eggs at Mr. Kodinski’s store then ran off. Mr. Kodinski opened the door and saw the three children standing there and believed they were responsible for throwing the eggs. He called Miss Eula and told her what the children had done. The children could not tell Miss Eula why they were at the store because they wanted the hat to be a surprise, so they had to figure out a way to show Mr. Kodinski that they didn't throw the eggs. Read this book to find out how the children cleared up this misunderstanding as well as if they earn enough money for the hat.  Stop by the library and check out this book!
