Peepsqueak Wants a Friend!
On a fine morning, the baby chicks come out to play &#x201C;2 by 2! 2 by 2! 2 by 2!&#x201D; Except for Peepsqueak (Peepsqueak! 2012), who is &#x201C;only 1.&#x201D; Peepsqueak decides he needs a friend and, against everyone&#x2019;s warnings not to go into the woods, into the woods he goes&#x2014;hopping, skipping, jumping, and skittering. Of course he finds an unexpected, rather large pal, but realizes that the more the merrier is true when it comes to friendship. With simple one-and-two counting, action words appearing in a different color font, and a popular theme, this should work well for preschool and kindergarten story hours.
