Even his sister gets twenty bucks a pop for mowing people's lawns! But seven-year-olds aren't allowed to mow lawns, so Sam decides to ask his next door neighbor if she needs help doing other chores. It turns out she'll pay him a whole dollar each time he can convince her dad, Mr. Stockfish, to join him for a walk. But it turns out that getting Mr. Stockfish to leave the living room isn't easy. AND a dollar a pop isn't going to cut it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo when Mrs. Kerner, another neighbor, asks if Sam would like to watch her chickens, Sam jumps on the task. You can count on him, yes indeed. Watching chickens is more fun than he expects, and comes with an added bonus: it turns out that visiting the chickens is the one thing that can coax Mr. Stockfish out of the house! But what does a seven-year-old do with all the money he's earning? It's too little for a bike, and too much for candy. But wait! It's just enough for a chicken of his own--the kind that lays BLUE eggs! Soon he has a whole waiting list of kids who want to buy a blue egg. And what does Sam plan on doing with his new fortune? Buy Mr. Stockfish his own chicken, of course!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481440660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.80w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2016 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2016 pg. 105\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2017 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e184413 \/ Sam the Man \u0026amp; the Chicken Plan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.7 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Frances O'Roark Dowell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42925031784629,"sku":"9781481440660","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_67f97ac4-06c5-4358-b6cf-c530614ebd33.jpg?v=1687844043","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sam-the-man-the-chicken-plan-9781481440660","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
