Chicken Wants a Nap - Hardcover

by Tracy Marchini (Author), Monique Felix (Illustrator)

The sun is up, and a happy barnyard chicken is looking forward to a comfortable day--preferably one that includes a relaxing nap. However, every time she tries to find a good spot, something goes wrong. The sun disappears and is replaced by rain. She is driven out of the warm barn by obnoxious noises and smells. The dog is too curious for her to stay on the porch. Finally, the rain stops, and the worms come out. This is good news for the chicken--but bad news for the worms
