Going for the Bronze: Still Bitter, More Baggage Hardcover – October 1, 2005

by Stefan Hagen (Author), Sloane Tanen (Photographer)

See all formats and editions

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.

LOVE Sloane Tanen. Bitter with Baggage is still my all time favorite, but this one didn’t disappoint! The condition of the book, however, was NOT what I was expecting....the cover is NOT as shown and the spine is broken and tears easily. Will NOT purchase from this seller again.

Oh man do I love these books. I have 3 of the Sloane Tanen chicken books and I always crack up when I read them. If you're having a bad day, just crack one of these open and prepare to laugh.

There really is no plot. It is a series of captioned pictures, all of which are hilarious. The little scenes she sets along with the captions, too much fun.

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!!!!

I picked up a copy of "Bitter with Baggages Seeks Same" to browse at a coffee shop. It made me laugh out loud (particularly the chicken giving birth image!) Basically, models of fluffy chicks in various scenarios with amusing captions. So, I got the sequel. It made me laugh too! It's produced by an East Cost (New York!) American and some of the humour doesn't travel the Atlantic - but most does.

Là il y a du texte d'ailleurs très bien vu de réflexions que n'importe quelle femme est amené à se faire dans notre vie moderne et ramené dans le monde des poussins avec des illustrations photos excellentes c'est encore plus drôle
Je l'ai acheté avant tout pour moi, je ne suis pas sûre que les enfants comprennent certaines situations. C'est plus pour les adultes en fin de compte sauf pour les photos
