The Perfect Nest

(2) K-3 Illustrated by John Manders. Jack the cat constructs the perfect nest for a chicken to lay an egg (so he can make an omelet), but the luxurious nest also attracts a duck and a goose. When the eggs hatch, Jack becomes an unwilling mama. Manders's large, exuberant gouache paintings have exactly the right cartoony style, with everything just a little cheesier and larger than life.
Reviewer: Susan Dove Lempke | Horn Book Magazine Issue: March, 2007
