Peepsqueak doesnâÂÂt just hatch slowly like the other chicks; he bursts out of his shell, dressed and ready to go in a red âÂÂP.S.â T-shirt. From the instant his feet hit the ground, he is âÂÂon the move!â and determined to fly, despite Yellow Ducks and Big SheepâÂÂs warnings that he is too little for such an activity. He jumpsâÂÂup, up, up!âÂÂoff a stone wall, a round hill, and a big rock; but, alas, he falls down, down, down each time. Luckily, Old Grey Goose knows just how to solve PeepsqueakâÂÂs problems and lifts him airborne on his backâÂÂhigh, high, high. Debut author-illustrator ClarkâÂÂs sweet cartoon illustrations bring PeepsqueakâÂÂs farm to cheerful life, and the simple words repeated throughout are perfect for the intended audience. As an added bonus, a tiny shorts-and-T-shirt-clad mouse is tucked away on most spreads, making for a fun seek-and-find game. Young children will enjoy this read-aloud and relate to the chickâÂÂs valiant attempts to prove everybody wrong. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Ann Kelley
