Description
An adorable baby chicken is the latest addition to the family in this sweet picture book based on a true story. An irresistible and unique twist on a sibling story and for anyone who loves cute baby animals!
Albert the sheep is the only one unhappy about the new addition to the family. Tina is a tiny, fluffy baby chick — and she gets all the attention. Albert is big and loud, and he can't resist Mom's vegetables ("Get out of the garden, Albert!"). Sprout the dog doesn't have time for Albert anymore. The cats only have eyes for Tina. And though he tries his hardest, Albert's gifts to the family aren't as welcome as Tina's eggs.
Then one day, Tina faces a danger and only Albert can save her. Will Albert be able to put his feelings aside and truly welcome Tina into his flock?

Editorial Reviews
Named The Baby Spot's "Best Book of the Summer"
"This adorable book ticks all of the boxes." —The Baby Spot
"Smith’s ability to both challenge and reward expectations makes this appealing and utterly unpretentious book a valuable new take on being the cutest in the family, and then graduating to a different role." —Imaginary Elevators
"[S]peaks to the sibling rivalry that sometimes arises when a child loses her/his place in the family hierarchy as the arrival of another child [disrupts] that order." —CM Magazine
