The Perfect Nest Catherine Friend (2007) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by John Manders Audience: Preschool, Primary (k-3rd grade) Category: Humor, Read Aloud (This book has outstanding illustrations)
A cat named Jack knew exactly what he
wanted. He wanted one perfect egg to
make one perfect omelet. But first he
needed a chicken. So, he decided to
build the perfect nest to lure one.
Jack attracts not only a chicken but
also a duck and a goose. Each is a
different nationality and has an accent
to match. They all squabble over the
nest. Will poor Jack ever get a meal?
The illustrations make this already
funny farmland story even funnier. This
an especially good read aloud.
