Discover the wonders of springtime with Little Chick and friends!
It’s springtime, and Little Chick is singing happily! She visits Little Lamb, who bleats a happy “baa!” The birds are learning to fly and call “cheep, cheep!” as the warm sun brightens up the sky. The butterflies flutter around Little Chick, the flowers bloom, and the baby rabbits hop through the forest. Features a soft, squishy, glittery chick that shows through the front cover and on each spread.
Baby-Toddler–A “squishy, glittery chick” pops out from the cover to announce, “It’s springtime!” Throughout the story, different animals and plants celebrate in their own unique ways the coming of the new season; readers are encouraged to press the chick’s “squishy tummy” to join in the celebration. Pastel illustrations with endearing animals along with a darling chick will make this a fun book to share with a toddler who will no doubt enjoy pressing on the squishy chick without ever “hurting” it. VERDICT Sweetly complicit animals help welcome spring in a novel interaction that mirrors how humans play with babies. During story hour lessons, this will be a favorite glimpse of one of the best seasons, for both the young and their caregivers. --School Library Journal
