There are six eggs in Mother Hen’s nest, but--Chip! Chip! Chip! Chip! Chip!--only five eggs hatch! The sixth egg goes on a high-rolling adventure across the barnyard, past the pig and the tomato patch, and, finally, into Mother Hen’s waiting wings. What a wild ride! Lisa Campbell Ernst’s bold, energetic illustrations transform a short trip across the barnyard into a rollicking good time.

Review
Mama hen has been sitting on siX eggs and suddenly five hatch, but the siXth slips out of the nest and rolls away. A madcap chase ensues with one animal after another joining mama as she chases after the runaway egg. The simple teXt is greatly enhanced by Ernst's humorous illustrations. Mama hen's farmyard friends show their dismay and joy when she is finally reunited with her newest family member. A level 2 reader (grades 12) in the "Green Light Reader" series. 1999, Harcourt, Ages 6 to 8. (Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot )

5.0 out of 5 stars
Simple, cute, and fun for preschoolers,
This review is from: The Chick That Wouldn't Hatch (Paperback)
This book is designed for beginning readers, but I like to read this book to the preschoolers I teach, in the early spring, when many of them are learning about eggs and chicks. It's a fun story, with repetitive sections for children to join in (I have them make rolling motions with their arms when the egg rolls downhill). They also enjoy joining in on the animal sounds. It's fun when the chick finally hatches! Cute illustrations too.
