Ein etwas anderes Huhn: Auf einem kleinen Bauernhof legt ein klitzekleines Huhn in einem winzigen Hühnerstall ein Ei. Aber kein gewöhnliches. Es ist gigantisch gross, und das Hühnchen, das herausschlüpft, ist ebenso riesig. Welch ein Schreck für die übrige Hühnerschar. Ist das etwa ein Elefant oder ein Eichhörnchen? Ein Regenschirm, ein Nilpferd oder vielleicht gar ein Pullover? Es könnte auch eine Kuh sein. Das Riesenhühnchen muss über all diese albernen Aussagen innerlich kichern, schliesslich weiss es wohl am besten, dass es ein ganz gewöhnliches, nur etwas zu gross geratenes Huhn ist. Seine Artgenossen müssen bestimmt sehr dumm sein. Trotz seiner Andersartigkeit setzt das aussergewöhnliche Huhn seine Fähigkeiten unter Beweis, beschützt die übrige Hühnchenschar vor Regen und Wind und rettet die Eier vor dem Fuchs, der gerade im Begriff ist, sie zu braten. So wird das Riesenhühnchen als grosser Star gefeiert, und alle Vorurteile sind inzwischen abgebaut. Ein berückendes Bilderbuch mit schelmischen, karikaturistischen Bildern über Vorurteile und Akzeptanz gegenüber von der Norm abweichenden Gattungen. Ab 4 Jahren, ****, Silvia Zanetti.
