(2) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Illustrated by Sue Truesdell. A pesky chicken's constant dirt-scratching threatens friends Earl and Pearl's pumpkin-growing project. They banish the chicken from the pumpkin patch--until grasshoppers descend. Chicken, with a few authoritative clucks, manages to save the day. The book's careful accumulating structure, repeated refrain, and controlled yet piquant vocabulary are big plusses for new readers. Truesdell's pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations provide humor, characterization, and action.
