A Little Chicken by Tammi
Sauer with illustrations by Dan Taylor is a light-hearted story for
young readers. Chicken is afraid of a great many things: bears, butterflies,
wolves, spiders, even garden gnomes.
But when she accidentally sends a
soon-to-hatch egg rolling out of the nest, she must confront her fears as she
sets off in hot pursuit. It’s one failed attempt after another, before she
finally recovers the egg just in time to welcome her new baby sister into the
world and become a hero in the process.
Sauer’s prose is playful and rhythmic; the humorous
tone is engaging. The brief text allows the colorful illustrations to
contribute to the storytelling experience and makes for a fun read aloud for
children and adults.
