Blue Chicken

(2) K-3 An almost-finished watercolor picture of a farm is the setting for some fowl high jinks when one of the chickens pops out of the picture and upends the paint, covering herself and the picture in blue. The apologetic chicken then attempts to set things right. Metafiction fans will appreciate the sheer joy of this book that celebrates color and innocent mischief.
