Chicken, Pig, Cow On the Move by Ruth Ohi

Chicken, Pig, and Cow were actually little toys but they didn’t know it.  They lived in a little toy barn.  Their best friend was Dog.  He was real.  

At times, the barn seemed very crowded so they decided to try to find a different place to live.  Pig found a home “but it was too linty.  Cow found one “but it was too scary.”  Then chicken found the perfect home, complete with beds, TV, and a slide.  It was actually a doll house.
Can you guess what happens next?

Ruth Ohi is a very famous Canadian children’s book author and I can see why.  She weaves a great imaginative story which she fabulously illustrates herself.  This book is a gem.
