I Bought a Baby Chicken

32 pp. | Boyds | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 1-56397-800-8 $$14.95
(4) PS Illustrated by Karen Stormer Brooks. This book about a girl who buys a single baby chicken that inspires the family to buy more--and more and more--provides good, pleasant counting-book fun, especially for a group. While the ending is weak ("I guess my family's lucky that I didn't want a cow!"), the tale is cheerfully told and supported by colorful cartoon-style illustrations.
