Mommy's review from 5/13/10 - Tough Chicks is a really cute, fun book to read to your toddler. I loved the illustrations and Julia did also. Three little chicks are a little different and get into some trouble on the farm. The Mother Hen is repeatedly told to get her chicks under control. The ending is pretty cool - the chicks kind of turn everything around on the other barnyard animals and the farmer. I'm happy I saw this and picked it up. I can see us reading this more in the future. Chicks Penny, Polly and Molly have always been different from the other chicks. They don't quietly peck grain and build nests. They get into the farmer's tractor, play in the mud and sing instead of cheep. Many barnyard animals have tried to help them to no avail. Mother Hen is forever being told to control her chicks, but she loves them as they are.Being tough chicks just might come in useful when the farmer's tractor gets stuck and it's about to rain.
I read this book to my son in the library. It was pretty cute.
