After Momma Chicken tucks Lulu into her barn bed, she describes how she will fend off various ferocious animals who may come along. Meanwhile, two eavesdropping pigs are getting increasingly unnerved by the talk. This funny, original, and reassuring tale ends with Momma tucking all three into Lulu's bed. The saturated watercolor and ink spreads deftly capture the night's ominous as well as cozy qualities.
