K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Robert Eberz.
Text by Laura Driscoll. Cat Splat gets to bring his class's chicken eggs home for the evening. The chicks hatch overnight, though, and Splat has his paws full keeping track of twelve fluffy, active babies. Beginning readers will get lots of practice reading words in the "-ick" family (e.g., chick, pick, lickety-split); the comical illustrations of Splat chick-wrangling are a kick.
