It's the end of a busy day on the farm, and the mother hen is gathering her 5 chicks into the coop for the night, but they aren't ready for sleep - they still want to run and play! So they head out to the pasture, but the grass os so soft, one of the chicks falls asleep right there with the cow, the next falls asleep with the pig, then the dog, the horse and the sheep each have 1 sleepy chick with them. Eventually mother hen collects them all and brings them home.
Sydney Hanson's illustrations are the sweetest! The sleepy chicks are darling, and I loved how cuddly they were as they fell asleep with each of the other farm animals. There's a great picture of the barnyard at the end - let your little one find all five tiny chicks - they are all there! The rhyming text is great for a bedtime read.
