review 1: This is a quick read that is great for the youngest chapter book readers. Daniel loves animals and is excited about chickens hatching in his classroom. His wish comes true when the family votes to bring a chick home and he actually is chosen to adopt a class chick! Then, all others who planned to take a chick home back out and Daniel's dad says "Sure, we will take all five of them home." Now Daniel gets the family involved in caring for the chicks and learning how they help in the garden. The only problem they might have is if they have a rooster in the group because the city ordinance is clear "roosters aren't allowed in town." This quick chapter book is funny, exciting and will be enjoyed by boys and girls alike. I'm so glad it is on our state Sequoyah master ... morelist.
review 2: A boy's class hatches eggs at shcool and he takes home the brood to his suburban family. A grumpy neighbor, and the realization that there is a rooster in the group (which violates town ordinances) creates the conflict. One of this year's MCBA nominees, it is much too young to be on the list. The protagonist is a third grader and the action will delight first and second graders, especially if they are hatching eggs, but this one isn't of much interest to grades 4-6. less
