Overview: When Hattie and Eunice and their hen sisters learn that the state Revenue Collector is confiscating more and more of their tasty eggs, they strut into action.

They have an ingenious plan to save Peter and his friends. But can mere chickens out-smart an educated taxman? Reviews: "As someone who has started Ann Rand’s Atlas Shrugged and never finished it, I applaud David Brenner’s wise decision to making his book light and brief. The book addresses extremely important topics in a lighthearted and easy to grasp fashion. Stepping back and understanding that not all good intentions lead to good outcomes should be central to our thought processes. -MAF "In an age where we often talk past each other, David Brenner has given us a delightful, humorous, and yet believable story that illustrates well how government-imposed redistribution of wealth hurts the 'least of these' and wrecks an economy." -GA "With our children being bombarded with false ideologies, it is refreshing to find someone countering these flawed and dangerous ideas. The Un-Socialist Chickens does just that, debunking socialist ideology in a short and entertaining account of heroic and innovative farmyard beasts who experience first-hand the damaging effects of socialism and push back against its tyrannical and fruitless demands. The Un-Socialist Chickens will delight young and old readers alike while guiding them to become free, productive citizens. -JH
