OK, odd question: What do you know about "Freddie The Free-Range Chicken?"
My two year old got it as a gift but it has a Sean Hannity forward and was written by his former producer.

1. Synopsis
Here's a warm, real story that will touch the heart of every kid - and adult.

Jack lived on a farm with parents who loved him, but were always too busy with chores to play. That gave Jack plenty of opportunities for mischief...until Fredricka the Chicken introduced him to the farm animals' magical world of fun and endless imagination. But can Jack and his new animal friends save "Freddie" from becoming the next-door neighbor's Sunday feast?

This beautifully illustrated book, with its uplifting message about love and perseverance, is one kids will turn to again and again.

About the Author:
Jill Vitale, aka "Flirty Flipper," spent four years producing the Sean Hannity Show, the second largest radio show in the nation, where she became famous for her man on the street interviews and frequent debates with Sean. She is a well-known animal rights activist and semi-vegetarian that eats free-range chicken. She is married to Victor and has two children, Jack 4, and Olivia 2 1/2. She currently produces the John Gambling radio show on WABC and makes regular appearances on the Hannity show. She lives on Long Island, New York.

I suggest you destroy the book before it's too late.

2. Why do you ask? Are you afraid that the free-range chicken
realizes at the end of the story that being married to one free-range hen is ideal, and that all hens must lay eggs against their will, and that "funny" chickens should be pecked to death, and that chickens must attack first if someone looks at them wrong?

6. I recall when Hannity was promoting his book about a year
ago...He said something to the effect of, "easy reading, no words are over 5 letters long". I'm not positive about the (5/6/7 ?, a small #) letter count, but he was relishing the thought that his readers would find it an "easy read" as the words had very few letters.

I actually saw him push this hefty tome upon the masses that night, and within a week, it was lining birdcages of those who were foolish ehough to buy it. In fact, I went to the local library and asked if they had it, (can't recall the title now), and the Librarian said she had never heard of it, or him...:D

8. ...
:D

But their kids don't go to school...after all, those Public Schools teach things like..."evilooshun" and other things that if God wanted us to know, he'd just put in own heads.
