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.
