New ed. (1993)

(3) PS Illustrated by Christopher Wormell. Brilliant, glossy, heavily outlined illustrations of a steadily increasing number of barnyard animals follow the peregrinations of a lost chick as he searches--successfully--for his mother and sisters. This new edition reduces the extra-large trim size to a more modest nine-by-nine-inch square, but the impact of the bold, museum-quality graphic-art illustrations is unaffected.
