From School Library Journal
PreSchool-A fat, white hen, first introduced in Dora's Eggs (Little Tiger, 1997), leaves the nest "for a minute" to find breakfast for her six chicks, and when she returns they are gone. She scours the farmyard and discovers one or more of them with other animals. Dora reclaims her brood and explains that chickens do not eat the way pigs, ducks, horses, or birds do. However, children unfamiliar with barnyard animals will not understand what is happening. For example, the piglets are not shown nursing even though Dora explains that that is how Penny Pig feeds her babies. The math is too complicated for preschoolers. While the illustrations are large and bright, the animals are not expressive and Dora and the chicks are an unusual looking flock with thick, feathered legs. For counting and finding animals, Charlotte Pomerantz's One Duck, Another Duck or Nancy Tafuri's Have You Seen My Duckling? (both Greenwillow, 1984) can't be beat, and there are many other farm-animal books from which to choose.
