Hutchins, Pat. Where, Oh Where, Is Rosie’s Chick? illus. by Pat Hutchins. 32p. S. & S. Aug. 2016. Tr $17.99. ISBN 9781481460712. 

PreS-Gr 1 –When Rosie the hen finally hatches an egg, she cannot find her baby chick. She looks everywhere, and all the while, her chick is looking for her—sort of. Baby chick is still wearing half of his shell over his head and walking around blindly. Rosie does not even recognize him, but an unfriendly fox does and begins following close behind. The captivating illustrations are like a bright quilt of colors and patterns, with humor tucked in for observant readers. The text alone is not sufficient to tell this easy story. Readers will see the dangers and want to warn the chick and try to convince Rosie to turn around to find her baby. But all ends well. This would be a great choice for sharing during the changing seasons. VERDICT A charming sequel to the classic Rosie’s Walk and an appealing read-aloud for all collections.–Mary Hazelton, formerly at Warren & Waldoboro Elementary Schools, ME
