Travels with my Chicken
By Martin Gurdon
(The Lyons Press)
With chickens grabbing so many headlines lately (from KFC cruelty to the cage-free controversy), it’s nice to see someone out there giving these feathered creatures their due respect. From the author of Hen and the Art of Chicken Maintenance comes this humorous and compassionate tale of a man and his chicken traveling from England to Wales and chronicling his adventures along the way. Ultimately, the book is as much about people and places as it is our avian egg-laying friends.

Carry-Ons: Traveling Chihuahuas
By Sharon Montrose
(Stewart, Tabori & Chang)
Smaller pooches are the envy of dog lovers, at least when it comes to travel. These pint-size pups can go just about anywhere and are usually willing and able. This beautifully photographed book showcases a variety of adorable Chihuahuas hanging out at the beach, “paws”ing on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, goofing around in the bathtub, backpacking it, and much more.
