Cluck, Cluck Who's There?

James Mayhew. Chicken House, $9.95 (16pp) ISBN 978-0-439-57737-3

Hattie the Hen clucks with joy after each egg she lays in the paper-over-board Cluck, Cluck Who's There? by James Mayhew, illus. by Caroline Jayne Church. Readers lift flaps on each page to reveal hidden eggs, bits of the story's text and ultimately three cheeping chicks. Spatters, dots and bits of newsprint that pepper the cheerful henhouse recall the confetti-like speckling of a bird's egg.
