A young soldier is fighting in the trenches of wartime France when he finds a hen, skinny, scruffy, and starving. He tucks her into his jacket and takes her with him... A beautiful story of unexpected friendship in the midst of fighting and devastation.

I have read this book

I really liked this book. I can imagine finding a friend in the trenches really distracted you from how horrible it was.

I can think this was a scary time long ago. Having a friend would have made things better.

I read this book for school to learn how animals helped in the war, the hen rewarded the soldier with eggs

Loved the hen being safe and new owner at the end

It was exciting, I felt the book was very sad, but then it became happy, which made a nice end to the story. I found the story interesting as it was about World War 1. I would recommend this book to children over 3 years old as it is a bit sad and they might cry.
