This little chick has a lot to say. Making the rounds on the farm one day, our fine, feathered friend learns to mimic all his barnyard buddies, from pigs to frogs to cows: This little chick from over the way
went to laze with the cows one day.
And what do you think they heard him say?
Moo Moo Moo Moo Moo Moo
Young readers will love predicting what sounds the feisty chick will make next as he swims, jumps, and skips his way through the day. And everyone will be as ready as he is to curl up for a much-needed rest when he finally returns home to his mom to share all he has learned. John Lawrence's take on a traditional rhyme is enhanced by his eye-catching illustrations, made with vinyl engravings, printed wood textures, and watercolor washes. Especially marvelous are the black sheep frolicking in their curly, swirly wool coats. (Ages 1 to 4) --Emilie Coulter
Product Description
Who says a little chick can’t make big, loud animal noises?
Most little chicks barely make a peep, but not this little chick! While his brothers and sisters nestle close to their mother hen, this little chick struts off on his own to make some new friends in the farmyard. And he has a wonderful time of it - sliding off the back of a shiny pink pig, hopping along with frogs, skipping with a flock of frisky sheep, and imitating all the sounds these animals make. Full of playful detail, John Lawrence’s bold, energetic engravings will keep toddlers smiling, long after the oinking, mooing, baaing, and quacking are over.

 cute, wonderful art June 2, 2007

This is a very cute little book. THe drawings are wonderful. We have some chickens in our backyard, so it will be fun to read about them with baby and then see them in the yard, too!
Great reading for little ones! January 19, 2007

This is a great book for little ones! The children love the sounds that the duck makes while visiting his certain friend animals. We read this all of the time!

This book is wonderful! It has a rhyming, repitive text that small children love. It is a lovely book to read aloud with one child or a group of children. Children quickly learn the rhyme and love to make the sounds of each of the animals. A must have for every preschool class and library story time!

What little one doesn't like to imitate barnyard animal sounds? Great little book for children as they interact with the illustrations and a narrative style that holds their attention. It is also a good book for beginning readers as well.

This has to be the perfect book for a year-old baby. I say this from tired experience after reading, re-reading, re-reading...the pictures are bright and definite and exactly right for babies, the rhythm is fun, the animal noises inspired even our year-old to say "baa" in response. Baby is now 14 months old and this is one of her three favourite books (the others are In the Tall Tall Grass and Night Cars).
