Bookroo's summary
In a farmyard frenzy, chickens scatter to escape the pot, but Little Chickie faces a dilemma. Her cold betrays her with every sneeze, threatening to reveal her hiding spots. As she ducks into the hayloft, milk pail, and sheep pen, will she outsmart the looming danger, or will her sniffles lead to her capture? This delightful tale of wit and whimsy invites young readers to join Little Chickie on her sneeze-filled adventure, where every hiding place holds the promise of safety—or discovery. Can she find a way to outwit the odds and stay free?
From the publisher
Rumor has it that Mrs. Farmer is making chicken soup, so the chickens are on the run–except for poor Little Chickie, who has a bad cold. No matter where she hides–the hayloft, a milk pail, or the sheep pen–her sneezes give her away. She is sure to be found soon! The unbeatable mother-son team of award-winning and bestselling author Jean Van Leeuwen, whose Oliver and Amanda Pig books are a children’s literature staple, and her son, up-and-coming illustrator David Gavril (Penelope Nuthatch and the Big Surprise), have created a charming picture book very much in the spirit of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type.
