Blue Chicken, by Deborah Freedman, Viking 2011
I saw an image from this book and that was enough to make me want to buy it. I am so not disappointed. This book combines farm animals AND art. Brilliant! The artwork in this book propels the story, but the text is still delightful and simple enough for the youngest of listeners and the youngest of readers. My son as been known to capsize his paints and color more than he intended, so this story is very relatable for him.
Of course, the illustrations are wonderful. As much as I love the helpful, clumsy blue chicken, I think it is the blue-yellow duckling that captured my heart. I highly recommend this adorably whimsical book, especially for preschoolers, whose "help" can sometimes lead to some colorful situations.
