Early in the morning, down on the farm,
a new day was dawning, peaceful and calm...
... until Hen discovers that one of her chicks is stuck in the mud!
How many animals will it take to pull Chick out of the mud?
Review:
This book reminds me of the old song, There Was an Old Woman who Swallowed a Fly, who ends up swallowing animal after animal, each getting bigger than the previous. The same thing happens here, as different animals try to help pull Chick out of the mud - my 2.5 year old enjoyed guessing (or remembering, as the case became!) which animal was going to appear next.
Written in a rhyming style and with gorgeous illustrations of, frankly, quite distressed looking animals, this is a story that's been read many times in our household.
My rating: 4 out of 5.
