When a family brings home chicks from a local farm, they must do
everything they can to make sure their feathered friends thrive in their
new environment. With the help of their knowledgeable parents, the
children provide the baby chicks with food, water, warmth, and proper
shelter. Young readers will chirp along happily page after page,
learning to read as they watch the fuzzy little chicks grow into downy
adult chickens, who will eventually lay eggs of their own!
Step 1 readers have big type and easy words, rhyme and rhythm, and
picture clues, for children who know the alphabet and are ready to read.
