About this book

Little chicks will be reassured when the town turns out for a search in this amusing gently suspenseful tale with a sweet satisfying ending. One of Mother Hens little chicks is missing. Did they leave him in the house? Is he hiding in his bed? Under a bush? A frantic Mother Hen enlists the help of obliging neighbors who search high and low but see no sign of the missing chick. Soon the firemen arrive and a detective is on the case. But is the little chick really missing? Or did he just find a quiet place for a nap? With bright illustrations and comically expressive animal characters Valeri Gorbachev tells a lighthearted over-the-top tale of a little chick lost and happily found.
