Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot
Count from 1 to 10 with the big fat hen and all of her chicks. The picture book has been transformed into a board book and it works quite well. The bright bold illustrations will intrigue the young ones, and they'll have fun counting all of the chicks, sticks, hens and eggs. 1997 (orig.
Children's Literature - Susie Wilde
This book revives a familiar rhyme. Whether you have a baby who likes to be bounced to rhythm, a toddler who's learning numbers and counting, or a preschooler who can appreciate Baker's surprising ending, the big fat colorful illustrations stretch across pages and invite chorusing a rhyme that children have chanted for generations.
School Library Journal
PreS-A large, brilliantly colored rendition of the counting rhyme ``one, two, buckle my shoe.'' Baker uses an imaginative array of acrylic colors for his hens-greens, purples, and pinks to contrast with the warm, yellow straw background. There are lots of things to count, such as sticks, eggs, chicks, and hens. A fine choice for toddler story hours.-Janet M. Bair, Trumbull Library, CT
