Take the high road, take the low; wind round or go straight--but whatever you do, don't let Chicken escape! It's a mad dash past houses big and small, trees short and tall, water shallow and deep, but as children accompany this happy hen on her drive, they'll master opposites like wide/narrow, dark/light, and near/far. It's a cheery, colorful way to learn! A Selection of the Children's Book Club.

Holy cow! Up and down and round and round, in and out and all about--look who's on the run.

Dazzling illustrations will make this a storytime favorite. A Selection of the Children's Book-of-the-Month Club.
