      Synopsis

      Chickens show off their human side in Sloane Tanen's irresistible dioramas.

      With more personality than most people have to spare, New York artist Sloane Tanen's tiny yellow chickens negotiate the tricky modern world, filled with three-headed blind dates, menacing KFCs, playground popularity battles, and annoyingly crowded yoga classes. They perch amid doll furniture, in scenes photographed in glorious color and brilliantly captioned- and their lives will strike you as strangely familiar...

      Charming, spiky with off-kilter wit (or waxing jobs gone terribly wrong), and somehow larger than life, these chickens win the hearts of all who behold them.

      April 06, 2007: This is SUCH a funny and well-done book! My girlfriends and I spied it in a boutique and spent a good 30 minutes laughing ourselves silly. Very smart, very witty, and charming pictures.
