She tries everything but eventually learns sometimes its not worth getting what you want. An excellent choice! ( )About a little girl who lived on a farm and tended to the chicken eggs. The illustrations are wonderful in the book. They are very bright and really help convey the storyline. They are really inventive to with some almost like patchwork. The story is about a little girl who is trying her hardest to catch a certain chicken in her yard but no matter what, that chicken is way to fast and always seems to outsmart her. When she finally has a chance to catch her, she finds this special hen is a mama with three baby chicks. Now the girl takes extra special care of the hen and her chicks. The words flow really well with lots of analogies that help the reader get a clear picture of life for this girl. This was a great read aloud and good for practicing your most realistic and embarrasssing chicken impressions. Shirley Jackson's artwork is absolutely amazing: paint and cut out (mixed media). The story and the main character are very endearing. Great for little kids and adults alike. THE MIXED-MEDIA ARTWORK COULD INSPIRE ARTWORK IN THE CLASSROOM THAT IS MORE THAN JUST DRAWING OR COLORING. A young farm girl tries to catch her favorite chicken, until she learns something about the hen that makes her change her ways. no reviews | add a review
