Good Morning, Chick
Byron Barton
We have the great Russian poet and commentator on children's language, Korney Chukovsky, to thank in the first place for this captivating book. Based on his story, Mirra Ginsburg tells of a chick's emergence from 'a little house, white and smooth' and his first adventures in the farmyard. Preceded by an attractive vignette, the easy-to-read text is always placed on the left-hand side of each double spread and is cleverly linked to the opposite full page illustration by the sentence-completing phrase 'like this' which is contained within each bold, child-like picture.
