So for starters, let's begin by saying that this book is about chickens. Now that's out of the way, let's end it with a note that this book may or may have not made me shed a tear.
Gerry Alanguilan, both the writer and artist for this book did an awesome job at this. Brilliant storytelling on his part and the black and white drawings nailed it. It's charming, heartbreaking, and wittingly funny all at once. The plot mostly revolved around chickens, literally. How they're trying to go through a life where they just became human beings - in some ways it's a little creepy and scary. It may contained a few amounts of violence and adult content, so I may not advise this read to children. Nevertheless, it's a fun idea and it magically worked in aspects of actually giving you a new perspective, in life that is.
Allow me to leave you with this quote that struck me the most out of Elmer. - "Be happy. What else would we rather be?"
