One little chooky chick just can’t pull a worm out of the dirt. “What should chooky do?” Ask some friends for help! With the addition of each chick to the worm-pulling queue, the worm grows longer but still won’t budge until a rooster jumps in line to help. Together, they dislodge the stubborn “squirmy, wormy” and unearth a surprise. The cheery graphic-style illustrations are a perfect complement to the rhyming, rhythmic text. These plucky chooky chicks would make a charming choice for read alouds for any size audience. (Ages 1–4)
