This delightful storybook by the incomparable d' Aulaires, based on a poem by Hans Christian Andersen, will charm a whole new generation of little readers Don' t count your chickens before they hatch, as the saying goes-but what about counting your eggs? ! A woman with a good little house, a cat and a dog, and a fine hen who lays an egg every day (and even with a rooster who crows as if he' d laid the egg) sets off for town with a basket of fresh eggs. How much will she get for them? the woman wonders. Soon she is dreaming and scheming and beaming, counting the eggs and the coins they will fetch . . . and the hens the money will buy . . . and the eggs the new hens will lay! What bounty those eggs will bring her! She will buy two geese and a little lamb, which will give her wool . . . why not? Wait and see what happens in this playful take on a beloved Hans Christian Andersen poem. A true classic, Don' t Count Your Chicks brings a timeless story to vivid life with all the old-world charm, humor, and brilliant colors that have made so many of the d' Aulaires' children' s books perennial favorites.
Ingri d' Aulaire (1904-1980) and Edgar Parin d' Aulaire (1898-1986) were authors and illustrators of many popular children' s books, including Children of the Northlights, Ola, Leif the Lucky, d' Aulaires' Book of Norwegian Folktales, and Nils, all published by the University of Minnesota Press. The d' Aulaires also wrote notable children' s books about Greek and Norse mythology, and their book Abraham Lincoln was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1939.
