From School Library Journal:
PreS--This appealing lift-the-flap book is cleverly designed to hide and then reveal a hen's three eggs. After the eggs hatch, readers can lift Hattie's wings and then a patch of straw to discover each chick. As the day comes to an end, the roof of the chicken coop can be lifted to show the mother and babies nestled together and sound asleep. The simple shapes featured in the cut-paper collages give the artwork a variety of textures and colors. Combined with minimal text, the large images are just the right size for toddlers to explore. Children will love moving Hattie's wings to count the objects underneath and will delight in looking for the little mouse that appears in most of the pictures. An engaging offering that's just right for repeated readings.--Carolyn Janssen, Children's Learning Center of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
