(4) PS Illustrated by Rick Chrustowski. Seven freshly hatched chicks explore their world as Mama and the aunties (Bantam hens) protect them from barnyard dangers. Although this snapshot of farm life is weak on plot, the action and onomatopoeia will appeal to young listeners. Colorful collage illustrations capture the chicks' boundless energy and curiosity. An author's note describes the brooding process and the importance of a mother hen's "language."
