Across The Stream

ALA Notable Children's Book

Excerpt from –


Across The Stream


A hen and three chicks

had a bad dream.

They ran and came

to a deep,

wide stream.

The hen said,"Cluck,

we are in luck.

I see three ducklings

and a duck"



From School Library Journal: (Starred Review)

PreS-Gr1–In this gentle,loosely rhymed
story,a hen and three chicks have a bad
dream(about a fox),run to the edge of a
nearby stream and hop aboard a duck and
three ducklings,who ferry them to safely
across to the opposite bank.The utterly
simple text is matched by exquisitely
simple illustrations:muted translucent
watercolors,kept cleanly within fine black
outline that are at once fluid and emphatic,
giving the totality a clear uncluttered
look that is both richly detailed and boldly
graphic.A good addition to the picture-book
shelf for the youngest readers,with a comforting
approach to the problem of bad dreams thrown
in for good measure.



From Publishers Weekly:

"Smiles and giggles from the nursery crowd are virtually guaranteed by the quick, silly rhymes. Lively, imaginative additions to the paintings increase the appeal of an exceptional picture book.'' Ages 2-6.
