About this book
Baby chick needs to go home to the hen house. You can help by moving the slider with the chick on so that they’re safely back with the others.
There are various things to spot as you do so, like flowers, bees, other baby chicks and an egg. Delightfully, on the following pages, you can also help a baby lamb, a baby duck, and a baby calf all get home safely.
This large, sturdy board book is full of gorgeous spring-like images, and babies and toddlers will love the interactive element of helping the baby animals.
The book needs the child to help, which gives a pleasing sense of agency and importance. The adult reading with the child can show them what to look out for on each page, as the different items will need to be pointed to and named.
There is so much for the child to do that this book can be easily played with when the adult isn’t there. The bright, friendly illustrations make this entire book a delight.
