""Three cheers for this unlikely but intrepid hero."" —Kirkus “It might take a village to raise a child, but it takes a farmyard to raise a chick in this cute British import . . . . Knight’s colorful cartoonish illustrations are hilariously expressive, whether they are conveying the fox’s damp dismay or the chick’s carefree attitude. Jarman’s rhyming verses smoothly roll off the tongue, making for a fun read-aloud . . . . A sweet and silly adventure romp for the fans of other farm classics like Stoeke’s Minerva Louise.”—School Library Journal
