chickens
Who knew chickens were so resourceful?
This is a fun to read aloud and scream at the top of your lungs your SOS, "Chickens to the Rescue!" In they come and save the situation. Very funny!
Books without words!
Wordless stories have a unique feel and highlight the importance of illustrations in picture books. As a child some of my favorite wordless books were by Mercer Mayer, such as "Frog on His Own." A newly released wordless book is "The Chicken Thief" which features a capture, chase, and miscommunication. Fun for non-readers and readers alike!
The Missing Chick
"Mother Hen and her chicks were hanging up the laundry..." and what happens next? Oh, no, one of Mother Hen's chicks is missing! She looks everywhere for the missing chick but can't find him anywhere. Neighbor Goat, neighbor Sheep, and neighbor Pig all look for him too, but he is no where to be found. The police come, the firemen come, the detectives come, but no one can find the missing chick. Is the missing chick ever found? Must Mother Hen continue on with only 6 chicks? Read this adorable book to find out the answer. Cute illustrations and adorable characters make this a must-read.
Cock-a-doodle-hooooooo
A delightful book about an owl who takes on the attributes of a rooster and is accepted by the hens because of an extra special talent. Cute & clever!
The Easter Egg Farm
Each Easter I like to pull this one back out. What a clever tale about a hen who lays eggs that match what she sees. This book is a celebration of creativity!
Lola
Lola is a very independent chicken and she isn't impressed with the rooster all the other girls think is so great. Lola wants a love all her own so she leaves the safety of the farm looking for her very own true love. Little does she know someone has slyly followed her into the dangerous deep dark forest. Will Lola regret her choice to leave the farm?
First the Egg
Beautifully painted picture book about how the chicken lays the egg and the chicken comes from the egg! It comes with two different covers! One has the chicken on the front and one has the egg on the front. Very creative!
Thump, Quack, Moo
It's time for the annual Corn Maze Festival and Farmer Brown wants to create a special Statue of Liberty corn maze. He has to bribe the cows, chickens, and Duck to help him. Duck helps him during the daytime but at night he makes his own special surprise! The best way to see the corn maze is from up in the air. Would you like to ride in a hot air balloon like Duck and Farmer Brown? (available in Spanish, too) I really enjoyed reading about Duck's adventures.
