Recommending for cream consideration. This wordless picture book, for readers from birth to 2nd grade, shows the humorous encounter of a just hatched chick and the barnyard puppy. The title page provides a play by play of the chick getting out of his shell that stays in two pieces. He explores the farm. A clever spread has the chick on the left page looking through his wings like binoculars and the opposite page the shadows of those binoculars with the sleeping pup in the center of each optical circle. After pecking the pup awake and running away, a quick thunderstorm brings them back together in a comical and comforting way. A new friendship has formed. Perfect for lap sharing, reading picture practice and sharing with preschool groups.
