Jessica the frog befriends the animal that hatches from an egg she brought home, thinking it is a chicken.
"Just the thing to lighten up a picture-book hour." —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"Kids will giggle at the frogs' repeated references to the friendly newborn as 'the chicken.' They'll be even more tickled when the frogs chuckle at the 'mother chicken' who, finally reunited with her offspring, greets her 'sweet little alligator' . . . In his 40th book, Lionni is in typically fine form." —Publisher's Weekly
