After Scarecrow says he'd gladly trade his hat for a walking stick, Chicken searches out several animals who have something they want to trade. She exchanges three of her feathers for Donkey's blanket, starting a comical chain of swapping that supplies Scarecrow with a walking stick and Chicken with the hat, which becomes a fine new nest. Attractive watercolors accompany this satisfying tale.

A group of wide-eyed animals are curious about Grandma Wolf. One by one, they creep up closer to her and ask, "What's the time, Grandma Wolf?" while she scrubs her stew pot, chops firewood, and lights the cooking fire. Though the watercolor illustrations are flat, young readers will enjoy the repetition, mounting tension, and unexpectedly happy ending of this simple story.
