Hatching Chicks in Room 6

Follow a classroom of kindergartners as they participate in a popular activity: hatching chicks. Readers learn about the life cycle of a chicken, incubating eggs, watching them hatch, and raising the chicks until they are old enough to return to the chicken coop.

Caroline Arnold's simple text and close-up photographs are instructive and adorable.
