(3) K-3 Illustrated by Perry Taylor. Readers get an inside look at each step of the development of Violet the hen's chicks, including a day-by-day guide to anatomical formation. After the eggs hatch, human kids learn how to care for chicks. Detailed line and wash illustrations add clarity on every spread. Aside from some playful anthropomorphism in the text, this is a solid scientific introduction to raising chicks in a classroom or at home. Glos.
