Chicks Run Wild

Am I excited about Perfect Picture Book Friday today? This little beauty was face out in the best position in the library and straight away I was drawn in by the fabulous illos and then I recognised the name and the story. A fellow 12 x 12 member, Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen does not disappoint with this wonderful and hilarious book.
