BLUE CHICKEN

Deborah Freedman

Playing with colors and perspective, and using minimal text, this richly layered story reveals new things to see and laugh about with each reading.

When a chicken in a painting notices that the painting isn't quite finished, she decides to "help" the artist and springs to life. Before she can get to work, though, she spills a pot of blue paint. Suddenly the chicken, the other animals, and the entire painting turn blue and her attempt to fix things causes almost as much trouble as the original problem.

Breathtakingly beautiful meta-illustrations will draw many eyes to this tale of a curious chicken who spills some paint... Delicate and durable, visually sophisticated yet friendly: simply exquisite.

The spare, poetic text allows the images to shine... this delightful treat emphasizes the joy of breaking free of conventional boundaries and turning accidents into art.

... all will appreciate the sheer joy of a book that celebrates color and innocent mischief.

Full of surprise and emotion... The book has much to pore over on every page, and children will want to experience the action over and over again.

While the artist is away, the chickens will indeed play, and Deborah Freedman has captured their antics in this book overflowing with joyful fun.
