K-3Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series.
Illustrated by
Pam Paparone.
Sklansky takes young readers on a classic tour of the twenty-one-day chicken reproductive cycle, from fertilization through hatching. The story moves neatly between embryo development in the egg and the behavior of the mother chicken as she tends her nest. The friendly illustrations portray an idealized barnyard life as well as details of chicken anatomy. Reading list.
