This book uses rhymes to describe how the duck and ducklings helped the chickens escape from their bad dream that they left at the other side of the stream. Lesson of the story is that friends can help you through hard times.
A hen and her three chicks had a bad dream, so they ran to the stream where they got help. Very nice story in few words and great illustrations for young children.
Super simple book and great and big illustrations. We are reviewing rhyming in school so this has helped. Phoenix loves the hen riding on the duck at the end.

A very short, cute, classic feeling book (I love the Nancy Tafuri illustrations!). A chicken and her chicks get a ride across the river with some ducks to escape a fox. The old-school style is really heartwarming.
Chickens and ducklings play together. This book had a good moral of the story: just because someone doesn't look like you doesn't mean you can't be friends.

This is a picture book classic. With minimal text, Ginsburg tells a powerful story of a hen and her chicks escaping a fox. It is worth noting that the word "fox" is never used, but the visual message is clear. The rescue is ingenious and satisfying. A wonderful book to share with the youngest listeners.
Simple story with lovely illustrations of a mother chicken hen who outwits a fox with the help of a duck hen.
Chickens riding on ducks backs! How funny!

This is a simple story with big, colorful pictures and a short, rhyming narrative. Our youngest brought this book home from her first grade class to practice her reading. She read it by herself and then to me. We enjoyed reading this book together.

This book would be great for students learning how to count.
This is a very cute book about three chicks and a hen who all had a bad dream. One night they were sleeping and they all dreamed that a fox came to get them. So they ran away from their nest and came to a stream where three ducklings and their mother were swimming. The duck and her ducklings helped the hen and her chicks get across the stream by letting them ride on their backs. The hen and her chicks made it safely to the other side and left the bad dream behind. This book could be great to sta...

"I really liked it because they ran."
This book is a short read and would be fun to read in circle time.
