FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OLYMPIA, Wash. –  In the longstanding battle between urban farmers and urban predators, local authors Andre and Amanda Maxwell are telling the tales of woe and victory.

“The Chicken and the Dog” series is loosely based on the true story of two urban chickens, who share their backyard with a black Lab in Olympia, WA. The Maxwells created the story after raccoons broke into their coop and stole away with their beloved Rhode Island Red chicken.

Following their debut title with “The Great Chicken Caper,” the raccoons strike again, and this time, The Chicken and the Dog team find themselves fighting for their new friends, three baby chicks .

Beautifully illustrated by local Olympia artist, Jill Carter, the books offer amusing details that follow the adventures of The Chicken and the Dog as they outwit a gang of wily neighborhood raccoons.

The books are available at www.chickenandthedog.com, on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. Wholesale purchases can be made through Ingram.
