Tough Chicks by Cece Meng, illustrated by Melissa Suber 2009
The tough chicks introduced in this story are Penny, Polly and Molly. They are busy and rambunctious from the day they hatch. To the dismay of the other barnyard animals they swing from the cow's tail, rope the rooster, and even inspect the nuts and bolts of the farmer's tractor. The familiar chorus heard on the farm is "Make them be good", but their Mama thinks they can do no wrong.
The chicks become much more acceptable when they save the day, and prevent great damage to the farmer's tractor and the residents of the farm.
The repetition in the text, and the bright acrylic illustrations will make this a popular book for story time.
Appropriate for ages 4-8

Dear Jenni,
Thank you for taking the time to review my books. I love your website - right down to the name. Sorry about the delay in my response. My Internet connection has been down for the past month and I completely forget to check my "author" e-mail account while at the local coffee shop.
You are obviously passionate about children's literature, which is something we have in common. I'll keep checking your site periodically to see what books have caught your eye.
Keep up the great work in support of kids and books and reading.
Thanks again for your reviews,
Cece Meng
