Argus

Ivy and I discovered Michelle Knudsen's heartwarming tale of a young "chick" named Argus.  Andrea Wesson's whimsical illustrations depict the tale of a young girl name Sally and her struggles with having a "different" chick, Argus, in the class science project.  Her classmates have adorable fuzzy yellow chicks, but Sally's "chick" tries to eat the other chicks and likes to dig holes in the ground.  When Argus disappears one day, will Sally be able to get another chick like the other students.....or will she decide "different" is something special?  Find out in Argus.

Sally's class was doing a science project.  Mrs. Henshaw 
handed out the eggs. 
"Mine looks different," said Sally.
"Now, Sally," said Mrs. Henshaw, "don't be
 difficult.  Some eggs are just different."
