The Missing Chick

32 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-3676-0 $15.99
(4) K-3 Mother Hen, out hanging laundry, becomes frantic when Mrs. Duck points out that six--not seven--chicks are assisting. The neighbors, police, and fire department get involved. Eventually, the errant chick is found snuggled in the laundry basket. Given the rather alarming premise, the story's happy ending (never really in doubt, thanks to the cheery ink and watercolor illustrations) is great consolation.
