Brita Granstrom.
Saturday the chick is sure there's "more to life" than the mundane activities suggested by his mother, a hen of no imagination. After a week of unsuccessful ventures, he discovers the perfect role model: a rooster. Readers might wonder where the rooster was before, but Saturday's persistence is admirable, and the handsome watercolors add to the humor of his quest.
