Charming

This is a very simple book that charms my children. I love that it takes so little time to read, but there are so many details in the pictures to discuss. I read it again today to my son. It is definitely one to keep on the shelf in easy reach.

Best Childrens' Book Ever

The Chicken Book is a beautifully illustrated classic tale of animal mothers and babies, in this case, chickens on the farm. Children and babies of all ages find this book captivating, both for the pastoral beauty of the full color watercolors as well as the simple, succinct text. Little ones love identifying the butterflies, bumblebees, ponds, barns, cows, horses, plows and haystacks, hens and chicks, worms, et cetera, in this wonderful book. Toddlers will enjoy the text. Even Dads seem to enjoy reading this one to the kids. Buy in hardcover, as you'll want to save this one for the grandchildren. A perfect baby gift for enlightened parents who read to their children from Day One. Can be hard to find at times and may be out of print. A timeless treasure!
