John Himmelman's expressive illustrations are filled with the kind of hilarious details that will delight young readers.
Children's Literature
Out of the chicken coop rush a crowd of helpful hens, ready to do their rescue for each day of the week. On Monday, clad in diving gear, swim suits, etc. they retrieve Farmer Greenstalk's watch from the well. On Tuesday, they take over the kitchen to make dinner for his tired wife. When the dog eats young Jeffrey's book report due Wednesday, it's a flurry of researching and typing to save the day. Thursday, the runaway truck requires rescue; Friday it's the cow; Saturday the sheep. Each rescue is frantic, funny, and a little wild. So the chickens have earned their Sunday rest. The salivating pigs happily on their way to do the clean-up of Emily's spilled cereal add a final laugh. Himmelman uses black Prisma color pencil outlines and watercolors for his frenetic style with cartoon-y overtones. The scenes include just enough contextual details to set the stages for some comic misadventures not even hinted at in the brief text. Lots of fun.
