The two-headed chicken is back in this entertaining graphic novel sequel.  In this adventure, the two-headed chicken experiences time travel as they search for their missing Astrocap, which allows them to jump from universe to universe.   In their quest, they travel to random points in time and encounter a hungry dinosaur, face an angry moose, and meet poet Emily Dickinson.  The chaotic plot is fast-paced with many unexpected twists and turns.  There is some type of humor on every page and kids will no doubt laugh out loud.  One thing that distinguishes this graphic novel from others are the interactive activities readers find along the way, like funny quizzes, a maze, and spot the difference (between two pages).  Elementary school readers who appreciate humor and randomness will love this graphic novel.
