Summary: Marge and Lola the chickens want to win the tickets to see Elvis Poultry in concert so bad, but they had to find a way to win the talent contest. The ducks always won, so they had to find something that they did that was better than anything the ducks could do. They tried flying (nope) and swimming (nope) and other fancy tricks, but they couldn't figure out what their talent was. So, the day of the talent show they decided just to wing it.

What I Think: I laughed so hard while reading this book that I woke my cat up from his nap. The scenes where Marge and Lola are trying to figure out what talent to do at the talent show are hilarious! The text and illustration combination are perfect because they are both filled with whimsy.
