When two young chickens go to the playground for the first time, they're afraid to try the equipment though the other animals invite them to play. But after Beaver gives them a ride down the slide on his tail, they're ready to go sliding on their own. For this reassuring story about a common preschool milestone, the cheerful illustrations show a playground full of busy animal children.
