Room For One More

At this farm the animals talk and interact with each other, a young chick swims with the ducks and a hen is in charge. ROOM FOR ONE MORE, the first in a series of books created by Jane Ellen Harris, is based on the adventures of real animals that lived on a real farm. This farm was special. The farm lady welcomed many of the animals that lived there because they had nowhere else to go, no one wanted them. Her motto was 'there is always room for one more'. As the story unfolds we meet Doris, a no nonsense light brown hen, who has taken it upon herself to keep things running smoothly on the farm. The sun is just coming up and it's another beautiful morning. Doris is sitting on the fence enjoying the piece and quiet when all of a sudden there is a commotion out by the barn. She sees Ethel and Sophia, two large hens, at it again. Seems they are always arguing over one little thing or another. They haven't been on the farm long but they sure keep Doris on her toes. She jumps off the fence and off she goes to settle another argument. She has a way of always making things better. On the other side of the yard, Little Black Chicken is off on another adventure. In spite of his odd shaped little body he is a happy, good natured little chicken. He is very shy and has very few friends, or so it seems. On this particular morning the splashing and laughter of the baby ducks playing in their pool has caught his attention. He is too small to see over the side of the pool and as he tries to find a way to watch the baby ducks he soon realizes he is way to close to the action. UH OH! Later he realizes that life is much more fun than he ever imagined.
