Bardhan-Quallen, Sudipta. Jenkins, Ward.  Chicks Run Wild, 32 pages.  Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2011. $15.99.  Inside cover: “One more kiss for each dear child, but when Mama leaves, those chicks run wild! At bedtime, Mama tucks her babies in, but they are not ready to go to sleep.  When Mama catches them raising a ruckus, will the feathers fly?” Great bedtime story!  The illustrations are fantastic!  Has great rhyme and rhythm.  We loved the surprise ending.  Pre-K.  ADVISABLE.  Reviewer: SL.
