Big
Fat Hen
by Keith
Baker
Review by: Jacqueline
Kilmer
One, Two.... buckle
my shoe. This classic nursery rhyme takes on new meaning when
Keith Baker brings the words to life in his vibrant illustrations.
Each page is a visual delight. Mother hens and their chicks
are the performers in this rhyme.
The hens in
this tale lay their eggs and attempt to catch dinner before the eggs
hatch. These clever little chicks demonstrate the actions in
the rhyme. There are many opportunities for children to practice
counting skills. They can identify the colors on the industrious
mothers too!
Keith
Baker has used acrylics on illustration board to bring his fowl to life.
The large, clear text is perfect for an emerging reader to hone his
reading skills.
I
recommend this colorful story book for all children. The very
young will be captivated by the colors and the action. The four to seven
age group will enjoy reading and counting each and every
page. Share it with a child , you will be hooked too!
