Chicks Run Wild

Submitted by Ms. Brenda!
Chicks Run Wild by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen is a delightful book about just what goes on after five little chicks are tucked in for the night. Written in rhyme, “Mama kisses each dear child, but when she leaves…those chicks run wild!!” we laugh our way through those chicks’ antics. They wiggle. They jump. They giggle. They thump. They also hop back into bed when they hear Mama coming. Find out what happens when Mama makes one too many trips to re-tuck in her chicks, and decides she’d like to join in on the fun. Should they invite her to play? Will she out-dance, out-play, and out-last them? The illustrator, Ward Jenkins, does a wonderful job of creating adorable, very playful looking chicks. One little chick, wings behind his back and whistling, wears an expression that clearly says “it wasn’t me” when Mama catches them in an epic pillow fight. This is a great lap book. It reads with an easy flow, but be warned: this book may put ideas in your little chick’s head! See this book listed in our catalog
