(3) K-3 Chick Henny was born with human arms. "Sometimes Henny liked having arms and sometimes she didn't." She worries about sleeves, hangnails, and needing deodorant but also discovers the many benefits of being different. Though this debut's themes are well-worn in picture books, the gentle humor in the matter-of-fact text and in the soft pencil and watercolor illustrations on roomy white pages makes it stand out.
