Publisher's Weekly Review

Trasler's sixth board book featuring her round yellow chicks, following Bathtime for Chickies and other titles, tackles opposites. Typical pairings like in and out, up and down appear, but there's a lot more going on, too-the book is framed as a photo shoot, with the chicks playing dress-up and running around outdoors as they demonstrate the opposites. Trasler further gooses things by interrupting seemingly predictable rhymes with cameos from animals stepping in front of the camera: "Chickies then. Chickies now./ Chickies dance and take a... cow!" It isn't the easiest of story lines to follow, but it has energy in abundance. A free song is downloadable online. Up to age 4. Agent: Jamie Weiss Chilton, Andrea Brown Literary Agency.
