Editorial Review:

Product Description:
They’re back! Sloane Tanen treats us to a second installment of her hilarious chicken dioramas in this sequel to her immensely popular Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same.



Join these fluffy, yellow, surprisingly human protagonists as they face a new series of dilemmas in their exquisitely crafted, miniature settings. Whether playing the online dating game, trying couples therapy, dealing with uncooperative children, discovering the melancholy of middle age, dreaming of a better life, or finally grasping the golden (or at least bronze) ring, these chickens encounter everyday troubles and triumphs as painfully recognizable as they are hilarious. Clever, charming, and endlessly entertaining, Going for the Bronze is a brilliant follow-up to a wholly unique bestseller.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This series is hilarious!
I first fell in love with Sloane Tanen's work when I read the caption above the photo: "Samantha looked around the playground in amazement. Her mother had been right. She really WAS the smartest and the prettiest."

If you thought you had to give up picture books when you graduated from second grade, have I got a treat for you! Writer Sloane Tanen and photographer Stefan Hagen take those tiny little stuffed yellow chicks you can find at Easter and put them in wickedly funny scenarios ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - hilarious!!!!!!!!!
These are the best books ever. I always look through it when I need a little pick me up and it always gives me a good laugh!!! Makes a great gift for somebody. I always order extras to have on hand..great last minute gift.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - For ladies, young and old
A followup to Sloane Tanen's earlier "Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same." This is also a hilarious look at the lives of adult females. Thanks to Sloane for these books!!! My college daughter and I laugh, laugh, laugh at these funny, situations and how Sloane has captured them perfectly with the help of some fuzzy little chicks!!!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - :-)
Another great one from Sloane Tanen. Same chicks, different day! You'll love this one too!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sad, but true!
The cartoons wouldn't be so funny (except the pictures are just adorable), if they weren't so true. Sloane translates human emotions into these cute chicks doing outrageous things. Buy one for yourself and 10 to give away.
