Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

When the news reaches the henhouse that Mrs. Farmer has taken out the “BIG POT” to make chicken soup, the residents are all aflutter and rush to hide, except Little Chickie, who has a cold in her beak. Each place Little Chickie finds to hide (the hayloft, the milk pail, the sheep’s wool, etc.) causes her to sneeze and expose her and the others. As the “CLOMP, CLOMP, CLOMP” of Mr. Farmer’s boots indicates that he is getting closer to finding the main ingredient for the soup, the chickens scramble to find new hiding places. Eventually, Mr. Farmer catches Little Chickie, and the final page reveals that it is vegetable soup that Mrs. Farmer has made—to treat Little Chickie’s cold. Uncluttered cartoon drawings made with pen, pencil, and watercolors humorously portray the chickens scurrying from each hiding place. The fast-moving, tension-filled plot combined with the variety of animal sounds in the text will make this a popular read-aloud. Preschool-Grade 1. --Randall Enos


Product Description

Rumor has it that Mrs. Farmer is making chicken soup, so the chickens are on the run—except for poor Little Chickie, who has a bad cold. No matter where she hides—the hayloft, a milk pail, or the sheep pen—her sneezes give her away. She is sure to be found soon!
 
The unbeatable mother-son team of award-winning and bestselling author Jean Van Leeuwen, whose Oliver and Amanda Pig books are a children’s literature staple, and her son, up-and-coming illustrator David Gavril (Penelope Nuthatch and the Big Surprise), have created a charming picture book very much in the spirit of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great message, great book, June 12, 2009
When I first picked up this book I was a bit worried at what the message might be considering the title. The last thing I wanted to read to my kids was about a chicken being chased down, killed and added to a pot of soup. I ended up loving it! The chicken is a guest to a bowl of vegetable soup. Wonderful story for all young children. We enjoyed it and it as a very humane and compassionate message. Two thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun farm tour, May 18, 2009
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Mrs. Farmer has the big pot out and that means she's making chicken soup - so all the chickens must hide. But Little Chickie has a cold and her sneezing keeps giving her away to Mr. Farmer. Can she escape the cook's pot? A fun farm tour receives zany drawings by David Gavril.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's All in the Family, June 5, 2009
The illustrations in this picture book are pretty neat. The original feel of the watercolors done by the son of this mother-son team is well represented in the printing. Unfortunately the story doesn't measure up to the artwork. The story is a simple one about a chick who has a cold. The reader is lead to believe that the farmer is after the chick to make her into soup. In the end we learn that the farmer only wants to give the chick some vegetable soup. As I said, not much of a story, but the artwork is interesting
