Watch Me Grow: Chickens

Learn all about the life cycle of a chicken in this non-fiction picture book for early readers

With colourful, engaging illustration and simple explanations, this is a fun and informative introduction to the life cycles of chickens. This book will take the reader on a journey from the hatching of a tiny chick, learning about how it grows, eats and the habitat it lives in. 

With two levels of text, this series is easy to follow for early readers and gives additional context for curious independent readers."Text in large print makes for an easy-to-follow story about the birds going about their day; additional smaller text provides more details, allowing the reader to choose how much information to share depending on the audience. [...] a good nonfiction selection to share at storytime."
