The Perfect Nest

Candlewick, 2007, Hardcover

Product Description

Jack the cat is building the perfect nest. It's bound to attract the perfect chicken, who will lay the perfect egg, which will make the perfect omelet. And sure enough, a chicken shows up ("Caramba!"), BUT so do a duck ("Sacre bleu!") and a goose (Great balls of fire!"). Feathers get ruffled - and Jack gets much more than breakfast - in a funny tale rich in detail with a sweet final twist.

Three Silly Chicks Review: Reviewed by Three Silly Chicks - Readers, Writers, and Reviewers of funny books for kids.
Oh how we love Spring here in the coop! Everywhere we look we see chicks and eggs! We feel the love. We get especially light-headed whenever we see a new chick-and-egg book, which is why we practically passed out when we saw The Perfect Nest.
