It's a fairly universal experience, disappointment in a gift that we've been given. And the intent of the plot is clear: gratitude and looking past disappointment to see possibilities. It points us to that occasion when the gift we didn't want turns out to be a wonderful thing. It just does it in a fantastical way. It's silly fun with heart behind it. Little kids will enjoy the sillyness. Older kids could use it as a starting point for a creative project. What could their own chicken do?
