If Little Chick
wants to be included in the treehouse group on the farm, he must prove that he
or his family is brave. When Little Chick consults with his father, he is
disappointed –finding out that chickens crossed the road and made the chicken
dance. But one picture sparks his interest and Little Chick finds out that
bravery runs in his genes!
This book would
be essential if the artwork was better, but it does still feature large and
bright enough illustrations to use in a story time. The plot is fantastic! How
can one chick prove that he is brave? By finding his confidence! Students will
be interested in the paleontology aspect of this story –that turns out to be
true!! They may never again think about using the word ‘chicken’ to describe
someone who is afraid!
