What a stroke of luck it is to find Beaky Barnes having lunch with a woman who has a business proposition for Beaky; a chicken-pulled coach service. Chaos ensues when a fight over the offensive business arrangement turns into a chicken on the run, and the inspector and woman in hot pursuit! This volume features three hilarious stories young readers are sure to love.

Show Me History Harriet Tubman Fighter For Freedom GN – Portable Press releases another Show Me History tell the remarkable life story of American Hero Harriet Tubman. Once a slave, Harriet Tubman escaped in 1849, but she wasn’t content with being free. She headed back into the South, and helped another 70 more slaves find freedom along an elaborate abolitionist network called the Underground Railroad on more than a dozen dangerous journeys. She became an abolitionist and a women’s rights advocate in an incredible life that was more heroic than any comic book superhero! This volume continues to show elementary and middle school readers that history is more than facts and dates.
