Beautiful and Lovely Book!

The greatest thing about this book are the exquisite illustrations. Butler does a marvelous job of making the animals seem beautiful and sweet, yet still appear seemingly realistic (not very easy with barnyard animals!). The story itself is also pleasant and has a good message. The little chick is the smallest of the bunch, yet it doesn't let it stop or worry her/him (it never assigns a gender to the chick). Little Chick runs into a goat, a piglet, a goose and a calf. Each tells the chick that it is tiny, with a tiny peep, tiny legs, and tiny beak. In response, the Little Chick stands tallest of them all (with the help of a pile of hay), peeps the loudest, runs the fastest, and finds the biggest seed. Not only does the Little Chick have self-confidence, but the Mama Hen also replies, "Tut, tut, tut! She's my wee little chick and she's just big enough!" This is a charming story that both I and my 2 year old daughter love. She particularly loves the pictures of the animals. I highly recommend this wonderful story.
