This book just grabbed my attention at the library with its bright happy colors and simple illustrations (I thought it was adorable), so decided to get it for my son. Little Chicken does everything his Momma orders him to do and always responds with "I hear you cluckin' Big Chicken!". One day while out with him Momma, he wanders off after a butterfly and gets lost. She soon finds him and they go home, where they read a story together and go to bed. Recommended for ages 2-6, 4 stars. Big, bold illustrations on a vast white background. My favorite line is, "I hear you cluckin', big chicken," which is repeated in the story. The entire story is only about 67 words. LITTLE CHICKEN'S BIG DAY is about a little chicken who goes out with his mom only to be distracted by the world around him. He gets lost, then found, and is happy to be with his Mama again. This is a book in which the pictures tell the story. While cute, this is best suited as a board book. It felt slight, especially for a $14.99 picture book.

Best for 0-3 years old, narrative skills and phonological awareness. Has a simple repeating refrain.
