Cape Region author releases ABC book about chickens
Local author Joanne K. Guilfoil has just released her ABC book, the first of three books about chickens. (A reference manual and hardback book will follow shortly.) The title of this book is “The ABCs of Chickens on Delmarva.”
Guilfoil raised the funds to publish this informative and fun little book.
Its purpose and design is to share the history of the Delmarva chicken industry, from commercial growers to exhibition and youth clubs. Thanks to a few very generous local sponsors, hundreds of copies of these ABC books are now being distributed - for free - to local libraries, local elementary schools, exhibition and youth poultry clubs across Delmarva. And thanks to a very caring local principal, the A-Z text is also translated into Spanish, for language learning as well as information on chickens.
This book tells about chickens on Delmarva, its history, including actual people, equipment, buildings and birds. It also provides some agriculture and science, with images of inoculations, vaccinations, wastewater, winter wheat, a litter-to-energy plant, and x-rays of chickens.
What better way to portray the letter X! For school-age readers, a glossary further defines terms in greater detail.
Enjoy a free copy at a local library, visit a local bookstore and ask, or find this book online at www.ShoreBooksLLC.com, for $15 plus shipping and handling.
