Big Fat Hen

Keith Baker

One, two, buckle my shoe. Three, four, shut the door. Nine, ten, big fat hen!

Now young children can enjoy a popular nursery rhyme and learn to count, too.

Keith Baker's delightful illustrations filled with eggs and chicks (and bugs) are sure to tickle little ones for multiple rounds of read-aloud fun.

"There are lots of things to count, such as sticks, eggs, chicks, and hens. A fine choice for toddler story hours." (School Library Journal)
