My Little Chick: From Egg to Chick...

(3) K-3 Translated by Kathryn Bishop. Illustrated by Eve Tharlet. Farm child Lena describes waiting for hen Alma to produce a chick. Lena (presumably like the reader) has much to learn: Mom explains that a hen must sit on her egg for twenty-one days before it hatches, etc. Accompanying the well-articulated facts are marvelously truth-telling illustrations, as when four panels show Alma preparing to release an egg from her body.
