BOING! Spring sprung in a burst of sun. Jenny and her hen, Hannah, planted a new garden.
Jenny dropped seeds. Hannah pecked and swallowed.
“No Hannah!”
“BAWK! BAWK!” cackled Hannah.
Jenny shooed Hannah from the garden.
Later, Jenny discovered Hannah sitting on four tiny eggs.
“BABY CHICKS!” squealed Jenny.
Three weeks passed until—four chicks hatched.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
After a couple of days, Hannah and her chicks helped Jenny garden.
Jenny weeded—Hannah and chicks gobbled beetles, bugs, and slugs.
One afternoon, a Spring shower PITTER-PITTER-PATTED.
“BAWK! BAWK!” cackled Hannah.
“Cheep! Cheep!” chirped chicks.
Jenny, Hannah, and chicks squished in mud and splashed in puddles like ducks.
Chicks grew. Wattles and combs jiggled.
Cool air turned warm in a—
WHOOSH of wind.
Bees, butterflies, and fireflies winged through flowers and trees.
Jenny, Hannah, and chicks waved goodbye to Spring and greeted Summer.
“BAWK! BAWK! BAWK! BAWK!”
