Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Newly hatched chicks star in an ebullient version of One, Two, Buckle My Shoe. In a starred review, PW said that Bakers bold outlines, plump figures and vibrant acrylics add up to an especially appealing counting primer. Ages 2-6.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-A large, brilliantly colored rendition of the counting rhyme "one, two, buckle my shoe." Baker uses an imaginative array of acrylic colors for his hens-greens, purples, and pinks to contrast with the warm, yellow straw background. There are lots of things to count, such as sticks, eggs, chicks, and hens. A fine choice for toddler story hours.

I bought this book sight unseen and absolutely love it. I'm a kinder teacher always on the prowl for books with folk stories and nursery rhymes. Big Fat hen is... 1,2 Buckle My Shoe. The illustrations are fabulous and the kids, love the rhyming. It's a popular pick in my classroom!

Our grandson loves this book and learned to turn the pages at four months. The coloring and graphics appeal to him. Another grandmother gave it to us and she was right on target. It is the only book we've found that holds his interest and that he doesn't chew instead of read.

This is a great first book for a child, lots of counting and things to see in the pictures if you are really paying attention. Your toddler/preschooler will love it!

Beautiful book
The artwork in this book is gorgeous. My son loves to look at the colors and patterns on the hens, and I like how on each page there are two numbers, one which represents the eggs... Read more

Such a cute book
I bought the same book for a cooworkers daughter. I looked through it before presenting it as a gift. Then I ordered this same book, for my little cousin at a much better price!

One of my son's favorite books!
My toddler will have me read this book to him ten times in a row if I let him. It's one of the few books that can distract him mid-tantrum. Read more

Ok
The pictures are beautiful but several are so similar. Not really a story for little ones to follow.

My 2 year old daughter loves this book.
There are ample pictures to count on each page that match the numbers on the page. The illustrations are gorgeous and she always claps when the chicks hatch. Read more
