Garth Williams turned a popular counting rhyme into a game of hide-and-seek wherein five down-cast chicks search in vain for a meal. But the reader can see what the chicks cannot - that the tasty morsels they seek are there for the finding; and it is this and the known text which make the book such a winner.
