Mary Deball KwitzRezensionen

Little Chick becomes hungrier and hungrier and more and more impatient as she watches all the other barnyard animals getting their breakfast before she gets hers.

From the back of the book:

"I'm hungry!" said the Little Chick. "It's too early for breakfast," said Broody Hen. So Little Chick waited. The farmer's daughter brought hay for the cow. The farmer's son gave milk to the cat. "Everyone is getting breakfast but me!" cried the Little Chick."

Detective Gumshoe Goose helps his father, Inspector Goose, solve the case of the hungry kidnapper.

I remember this book from my own childhood - back in the days when illustrating was a tedious 4-color separation process, resulting in most illustrations being only 2 color. Somehow, 2 color illustrations make pictures seem simpler to me, and this nostalgic imagery lends itself to the sweet and simple story of the text; a mother rabbit and her bunny searching for the perfect home for winter.
