CHICKEN DANCEWritten by Tammi Sauer,illustrated by Dan Santat

Meet Marge and Lola, chickens on amission: to win tickets for the ElvisPoultry Show! But their toughestcompetition is a pack of menacingducks. Can our two feisty chicksshow those quackers how to rock’ n’roll the barnyard? Tammi Sauer andDan Santat have whipped up a giddy,goofy romp where cows fly over themoon, ducks surf in a water trough,and one very familiar-looking roostergets all shook up!

BEGIN SMART is not just another book program. It addresses children’s needs to engage on manylevels. Early childhood research shows that children learn through different modalities. Inorder to learn about the world, kids need to takein information through all of their senses—eyes,ears, fingers, mouths, and noses—and they needto manipulate objects. All the books are designed tobe interactive. By structuring a program developmentally,Begin Smart helps them make sense of the disordered array of readingchoices they often face in the marketplace. Begin Smart is a gift of learning—not only for children under three, but also for their parents.

Author: HARRIET ZIEFERT began her career as a teacher, then entered thepublishing field where she developed a curriculum for kindergarteners. For the past 25 years she has been writing books for young children. As an author, her main focus has been to create age-appropriate content,in an age-appropriate format—content that considers kids’ emotional andintellectual development together. In the past five years Harriet has focused on the question: What is age-appropriate content for babies? Begin Smart™ books are the result of many years of experience withyoung children, including the study of infant development at thePsychoanalytic Institute of New York.
