(3) K-3 Illustrated by Valeria Docampo. Medio Pollito is a chicken with one leg, one eye, etc. In this adaptation of a well-known Spanish folktale, the chick sets out to see the king, helping the stream, fire, and wind along the way. They, in turn, save him from becoming chicken soup. As usual, Kimmel's retelling, accompanied by Docampo's spirited acrylic and pencil illustrations, is perfect for reading aloud.
