A very simple story about Daniel and his pet chicken. Except for the very last page, the text is always in the same place on the page with plenty of white space around it. The illustrations are by G. Brian Karas in what looks like it may be colored pencil. As with all of the Green Light Readers there are simple discussion questions as well as an activity at the back of the book. In this case, the activity is a craft to create a hatching chick. The CIP page, which is at the back, includes reading

IN this book Daniel found a chick. Daniel asked his Mom if he could have the chick for his pet. He fed his chick until his chick grew into a big chicken. One day Daniel couldn't find his big chicken.

Daniel fed Jen and fed all the other chicks. Daniel fed Jen every day, and Jen got very big. And then one day Daniel couldn't find Jen, and he called, "Jen, Jen, Jen." "Jen is here," said Mama. "Look at her eggs." "Now I will have lots of pets," said Daniel. I liked this book because there was a baby c

Ada, Alma Flor Daniel’s Pet Illustrated by G. Brian Karas, Harcourt, Inc., 2003. EARLY READER BOOK.
This is a bi-lingual early reader. There is very little text in the first half of the book. In the second half are some “Think About It” questions and a simple craft activity. It is about a boy named Daniel who keeps a small chick as a pet that grows up and lays eggs. The value of this book is that it is bi-lingual. The art is simple and engaging.

The book was great and cute.
Cute story about a boy with a pet chick who grows up to be a hen and has more chicks. Very short and simple, with activities at the end.
The book includes questions and a craft activity after the story.
This book would relate to students because many of them love animals. The students will write about their pets.
The saving grace for this book was the activity in the back.
Nice low reading level.
A short bilingual book about a little boy who raises a hen.
Fun simple easy reader. Has activities and questions I. The back.
Read to me by my 4yo at bedtime. :)
