Queenie One of the Family

Caitlin and her parents rescue a hen from a lake, name her, and take her home with them, but even after they return her to the farm where she lives, her presence is still felt in Caitlin’s family.

Rating: ****

A month later my preschooler is still talking about Queenie. She definitely made an impact.
