Book Description
for A Chicken Followed Me Home by Robin Page
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
“A chicken followed me home. What do I do now?” To start with, find out what kind of chicken it is, what it eats, and whether it’s a male or female. How? Read on! This engaging, accessible informational picture book offers a few basics about chicken breeds, chicken needs, and chicken behavior. Every page spread asks a chicken-related question (e.g., “Will my chicken lay eggs? … What if I want baby chickens?”) in large bold font, followed by a clear, concise response in smaller type. More chicken questions (and answers) are found at the end of a book featuring dynamic, appealing digitally rendered illustrations that look like paint and collage and show a variety of bright-eyed chickens and related items. (Ages 5–8)
