Chicken Soup

40 pp. | Abrams | May, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8109-8326-7 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Gavril. When Mrs. Farmer gets out the big soup pot, the chickens all hide. Unfortunately for Little Chickie, her sniffling, sneezing cold gives her away. Luckily, when Mr. Farmer finally catches her, it's only to serve her some vegetable soup ("Why, you poor little sick chickie"). The comfortably repetitive text and simply lined watercolors will engage and entertain young readers.
