Busy-Busy Little Chick / Janice N. Harrington (Author), Brian Pinkney (Illustrator)

Little Chick's mother is all cluck and no action. Mama knows her old nest isn't the cozy home she and her brood need. But whenever she vows to start building a new house, she's distracted―by sweety-meaty worms, crunchy-munchy crickets, or picky-pecky corn. Luckily, her Little Chick is an industrious sort. While the rest of his family are stuffing themselves silly, he's quietly working, bit by bit, day by day. - From Amazon

Pinkney's art is full of motion and I love it for this busy tale. The tale itself is interesting to me - I kept expecting it to go the rout of the Lazy Grasshopper or the Little Red Hen. The fact that there was no moral was kind of surprising to me.
