Chicken in Charge

Written by Adam Lehrhaupt
Illustrated by Shahar Kober

The farmer is away, and someone needs to care for the new lambs. Zoey volunteers! She knows they need dinner, baths, and bedtime—but doing the job may take more than a confident plan. With Sam along for the adventure, this chicken brings plenty of imagination to a very important responsibility. Adam Lehrhaupt and Shahar Kober turn everyday farm chores into a playful I Can Read Level 1 story for beginning readers.
