Picture book1
This book took the story of the ugly duckling and gave it a completely new spin. The Man who loves Birds, felt extremely bad for Silky the chicken for eating all of her eggs. He knew that she wanted to be a mother. When Rosemary, the white duck, laid her eggs, she was too eager to get up and move around. She left her nest! The Man took the eggs to Silky, who was patient and gentle with them, until they hatched. The Man felt bad about taking all of the eggs from Silky, so he left just one. This little "chicken" soon found out that she was not a chicken at all! She was a duck!!This story was very cute. It would be great to use as an opening for a science lesson on the evolution of life, how the baby grows inside of the egg and then hatches. The illustrations bring the story to life and they show all the great details of all of the animals that live by the pond. There is also a great lesson in her. It is be happy with who you are and love the people around you. The little chicken that could swim showed that he was perfectly happy with being a swimming chicken, even meeting his other brothers and sisters could not change that!
