Six Little Chicks

"The sun looks down on a beautiful day. Five little chicks come out to play . . ." Sparkling rhythmic text, a clever plot, and adorably detailed illustration are the markers of award-winning children's author Jez Alborough's latest book, "Six Little Chicks." Mother Hen has five little chicks to take care of--and she's also concerned about one more egg that hasn't yet hatched. Meanwhile, the sneaky fox is on the prowl. Can Mother Hen keep all her chicks--and that sixth egg--out of danger? The ensuing adventure is filled with suspense, surprises, and more than a few big laughs. Children will want to hear the story of Mother Hen and her brave little chicks over and over again.
