About the Book
"When Julie and her little brother Bob visit Grandpa on a beautiful day, they're in for a treat: a yard full of chickens!"--Provided by publisher.Book Synopsis
What better way to spend a sunny day than a visit to Grandpa's chickens--and a peek at some baby chicks just as they hatch? When Julie and her little brother Bob visit Grandpa on a beautiful day, they're in for a treat: a yard full of chickens! Grandpa introduces them--a white, fluffy Puffball called Lulu, a tan-colored Orpington called Lola, a strutting rooster named Marvin, even Lottie, who's sitting on eggs just about hatch into adorable yellow chicks. In a simple, inviting narrative, acclaimed author Vivian French ushers children into a perennially popular barnyard sight, while smaller text offers details about different types of chickens, their various features, what kind of environment they like best, what they eat, how they lay their eggs, and more. Clear, cozy illustrations by Nanette Regan add to the charm, making Grandpa's house a place young readers will be eager to visit again.Review Quotes
This introduction to backyard chicken keeping couldn't be sweeter.
--Kirkus Reviews While the chickens are the center of attention, part of this picture book's essential charm is the depiction of the characters, particularly the children, as they enjoy a new experience, accompanied by their gentle, knowledgeable grandfather.

Do you like chickens, have you seen one in real life? Well, Julie and Bob learn all about them when their grandfather shows them his chickens. All his different kinds and colors of chickens pepper the pages of this book. Chickens have personalities, and there really is a pecking order. One will be the leader, or head chicken, and that one gets to eat first. There is much excitement for the children when an egg a hen is sitting on begins to crack. Eventually it hatches, and a chick comes out! All this and more await readers inside this volume. This great picture book is a story, and teaches, too. Children will like the story, while they learn things without knowing it. The illustrations are amazing, including the inside of the front and back cover. The back of the book contains even more chicken information. It even tells what chickens are easiest to tame. Ages three through eight-years-old will enjoy this book. Thank you, Candlewick Books, for providing Tickmenot with a book to review. Opinions are my own.
