No way - when he puts his mind to it, Wee Little Chicken just might show all of the animals on the farm that wee little is just the right size.

The greatest thing about this book are the exquisite illustrations. Butler does a marvelous job of making the animals seem beautiful and sweet, yet still appear seemingly realistic (not very easy with barnyard animals!). The story itself is also pleasant and has a good message. The little chick is the smallest of the bunch, yet it doesn't let it stop or worry her/him (it never assigns a gender to the chick). Little Chick runs into a goat, a piglet, a goose and a calf. Each tells the chick that it is tiny, with a tiny peep, tiny legs, and tiny beak. In response, the Little Chick stands tallest of them all (with the help of a pile of hay), peeps the loudest, runs the fastest, and finds the biggest seed. Not only does the Little Chick have self-confidence, but the Mama Hen also replies, "Tut, tut, tut! She's my wee little chick and she's just big enough!" This is a charming story that both I and my 2 year old daughter love. She particularly loves the pictures of the animals. I highly recommend this wonderful story.
