Chicken, Pig, Cow - Softcover

PreS—Chicken, Pig, and Cow live in a barn constructed of Popsicle sticks. The toy barn would be just right if the child who built it had not neglected to include a door and roof. Most days, this does not matter because the toys are taken outside. However, one day the animals wait and wait but Girl doesn't come. Working together, two of the clay animals successfully escape while Cow stays behind. She is not alone for long, because huge Dog, who often rains drool down into the roofless barn, has other plans. In the end the three toy animals make a friend and their barn gets a door. The simple text and expressive watercolors, set on a white background, are perfect for sharing with a group. This charming look at what toys and pets are up to when children aren't around is a solid choice for young animal lovers.—Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ
