Lulu the little chicken is sick of being told she's too little to do things...so she decides to run away where no one will tell her what to do. And when the horse, and sheep and cow and everyone seem to get in her way, it only makes her more determined. But when she finally gets far far away, what happens when a loud crow scares her? Next time, she'll take her momma with her! Lulu the Big Little Chick won the Children's Choice Book Award in May of 2010 for Kindergarten to Second Grade Book of the Year, the 2011 London Book Festival Children's Book Award, and Honorable Mention at the 2011 New England Book Festival.

Paulette Bogan is the author of another Lulu story, Goodnight Lulu, which was a Scholastic selection and Momma's Magical Purse. She is the illustrator of Chicks and Salsa and Buffalo Wings. Her three daughters, including the youngest, for whom Lulu was named, are a constant inspiration for her stories.
PreSchool-Grade 2—Fed up with the restrictions that come with being so small, Lulu decides to leave the farm. With her pink purse and striped scarf, she passes the pigs, where she is quickly splashed with mud. She ventures on, entering the sheep pen. Her journey continues as she meets a horse and a cow, her anxiety growing with each encounter. Once the little chick finally reaches "far, far away," she is paralyzed with fear and mother hen swoops in. It becomes apparent that far away was never beyond mother's watchful eye. Just as in the author's Goodnight Lulu (Bloomsbury, 2003), large and bright watercolor-and-ink illustrations fill the pages, making this a great choice for group sharing. Small details abound and encourage a closer look at the background. Team this up with Margaret Wise Brown's The Runaway Bunny (HarperCollins, 1942) and Harry Horse's Little Rabbit Runaway (Peachtree, 2005) for a storytime on fleeing youngsters.—Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ
