Five Fuzzy Chicks

Description

Goodnight Moon meets Big Red Barn in this gently humorous counting read-aloud, perfect for spring! It's time for bed, then five fuzzy chicks race out of the coop. But as they visit each animal on the farm, the chicks can't help but fall asleep one by one-the dog is so snuggly and the hay is so comfy! Before long, the sleeping chicks are scattered all over the farm! What will Mama Hen do? With irresistible artwork, Five Fuzzy Chicks is a sweet spin on the bedtime story incorporating rhyme and counting.
