A Hen, a Chick and a String Guitar
Author: Margaret Read MacDonald
Illustrator: Sophie Fatus
Inspired by a Chilean folktale, this rollicking chant-along tale is a delight for young children. "Grandma gave me a clucking white hen. Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! ... One day that hen gave me a chick! I had a hen. And I had a chick. Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! How I loved my two little pets." As the animals arrive two by two, the story adds them up...ending with 16 pets! Thus a counting/adding book, a baby animal names book, and a just plain fun to chant story. Includes a CD composed, sung and played on guitar by Bob King.
US paperback edition is re-issued under title Farmyard Jamboree

"Warning: This Chilean folktale-inspired read-aloud (and song) will have preschoolers oinking and mooing 'til the cows come home. ...Opportunities for a barnyard ruckus abound here. ...The colorful, folk-art style of the acrylic and pastel paintings echoes the simple, cheerful cacophony of the story." ...Kirkus
