Illustrated by
Garry Parsons.
After a hen finds her chick stuck in the mud, she becomes trapped during her effort to free him. One by one, other farm animals and the farmer try helping and get mired. The surprise ending--the chick, who loves playing in mud, isn't actually stuck--is only mildly amusing. Parsons's acrylics serviceably capture the farm setting.
