"Why was Dr. Pinto putting Elizabeth on the spot when all of their problems were so clearly Elroy's fault? After all, hadn't Elroy shown up to meet her friends in a sweater vest and clogs? Wasn't that a personal assault?"
FRONT FLAP
"Sloane Tanen's irresistible chickens are back. Join these fluffy, yellow, surprisingly human chicks - who made their first appearance in Tanen's hit Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same - as they tell a new set of stories in their exquisitely crafted miniature settings. Whether playing the online dating game, trying couples therapy, dealing with uncooperative children, discovering the melancholy of middle age, dreaming of a better life, or finally grasping the golden (or at least bronze) ring..."
Sloane Tanen's chicks debuted in Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same, followed by Going For The Bronze and Hatched. Children's books include C is for Coco, Coco Counts, Coco All Year Round, Where is Coco Going?
