Sally’s class are raising chicks, but her chick, Argus, is different to the others. WAY different… like green-and-scaly and growing-really-fast and eating-other-chicks different.
What is so much fun about this tale of difference, acceptances and love, is that it is never, ever stated WHAT Argus is. He’s just a very different chick.
I love the teacher, Mrs Henshaw. What a cool teacher! Unflappable.
The illustrations, done in watercolour and ink, are appealing.
*Sigh* if only all picture books were this adorable.
