Chooky-Doodle-Doo is a charming, cumulative children's counting book written by Jan Whiten and illustrated by Sinéad Hanley. One little "chooky" chick (an Australian term for chicken) spots a plump worm stuck in the mud. Unable to tug it free alone, the chick calls on friends for backup. One by one, more colorful chicks join the line to pull, followed by a big rooster. When they finally pop the "worm" loose, it turns out to be a shoelace attached to a buried shoe—while the actual worm looks on from the grass, completely unharmed. It focuses heavily on counting up to six, cumulative repetition, rhyme, and teamwork. Ideal for toddlers and preschoolers aged 2 to 5 years.
