About the Author:
Gail Gibbons has written and illustrated many highly regarded nonfiction books including "Polar Bears", "Pigs", "Rabbits", "Rabbits & More Rabbits", and "Ducks!"
From Booklist:
K-Gr. 3. Chickens are the focus of the latest in Gibbons' long line of nonfiction picture books. The running text is simple and orderly, informing children about the bird's behavior, common rooster breeds, egg production, and more. The differences between life on small farms and in industrial agricultural settings are explained, including information about the incubation process. Bright watercolors, in a style somewhat freer than is usual for Gibbons, decorate each page. Some pictures, especially those overlaid with labels, are obviously meant to be used by adults working with young readers at home or in the classroom. A final page, "Chicken Tracks," brings together a dozen or so random facts, with such nuggets of information as the weight of the world's largest chicken egg. Francisca Goldsmith
