Medio Pollito: A Spanish Tale

Medio Pollito: A Spanish Tale by Kimmel, Eric A.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 8601423192840.

In this vibrant retelling of a beloved tale of Spanish folk literature, Medio Pollito―remarkable from the day he was hatched―follows his spirit of adventure to the big city. The other barnyard animals don’t think he can make it―“He’s only a half-chick! He wont even get halfway!” gobbled the turkey―but the little chick’s mother believes he just needs to go one step at a time. On his journey, Medio Pollito helps new friends, Agua, Fuego, and Viento, and as they repay his favors, he finds his way to a place just for him. As the author asks, “Why stay in the hen yard when you can have a whole city at your feet?”
