With the help of their knowledgeable parents, the children provide the baby chicks with food, water, warmth, and proper shelter. Young readers will chirp along happily page after page, learning to read as they watch the fuzzy little chicks grow into downy adult chickens, who will eventually lay eggs of their own!

Step by step, a family acquires chicks and watches them grow into chickens old enough to produce eggs and chicks themselves. Even today, not all chickens are raised on farms. Some, like the ones in this book, are thriving in the backyards of homes in areas where zoning permits. From the family's trip to the farm to purchase three chicks through early indoor nurturing to building outdoor shelter and then nest boxes, the story proceeds chronologically. The very simple text includes plenty of repetition to support beginning readers as well as words specific to the activity: brooder and coop, beaks and wattles, chirp and cluck. The farmer is African-American, and the mom, dad, girl and boy pictured may well be Latino--a welcome departure from the norm in agricultural stories. The chickens are realistically drawn. The illustrations support the text, offering plentiful clues. This entry, at the Step 1 level in the long-running Step into Reading series, reflects the current demand for engaging informational reading at all levels. It more than meets that need, standing out for its clear description of the process and its subtle multicultural appeal. Whether these fowl are feathered friends or future food, they are nourishing.

Preschool-G This latest title from the Step into Reading series provides emerging readers with a brief introduction to poultry culture. A family drives to a farm and purchases chicks, which they raise in a brooder. As the chicks grow, they graduate to an outside coop. Eventually some of them lay eggs in nest boxes, providing new chicks for the brooder. Goodell's realistic artwork depicts cooperative parents and children working together on this venture. The illustrations carefully anticipate the succinct prose (one page depicts Dad giving the farmer a check, while the text reads, We buy chicks ), making this ideal as a predictable text. Horning does not discuss chick anatomy or physiology, and no mention is made of selling or eating eggs or chickens; she also eschews naming both chicks and humans, almost giving this the feel of nonfiction. Readers wishing to learn more about this topic may appreciate Amy E. Sklansky's Where Do Chicks Come From? (2005).(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)

Follow the life cycle of chickens as a suburban family gets baby chicks from a farm, watches them grow to chickens, and witnesses their eggs hatching. In simple sentences, readers are introduced to chicken-rearing vocabulary ("We put the chicks in a brooder"). New readers can clearly observe the chicks gradually growing in the friendly illustrations.(Copyright 2013 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
