Why did the chicken cross the road? To get a copy of Fowl Play! Believe it or not, this book does not talk about raising chickens, building chicken coops or any other subject we would normally feature in our book section

This freshly hatched collection of chicken-centric crosswords, logic puzzles, word searches, cryptograms, mazes, math chalenges, riddles, trivia, and more, by noted puzzle creator Patrick Merrell, offers up hours of Grade A fun for fowl fanciers of all ages.

Patrick Merrell’s illustrations have appeared in hundreds of books and magazines, including Scientific American and MAD magazine. He has contributed more than 60 crossword puzzles to The New York Times and is a perennial contributor to the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament and the World Puzzle Championship. He is the author of several game and puzzle books, including Fowl Play, Bird Brainteasers, and (with Helene Hovanec) Coffee Time, Barnyard Games & Puzzles, The Great Outdoors Games & Puzzles, and Pony Play Games & Puzzles.
