Chicken Said, "Cluck!"

Chicken Said, "Cluck! " (My First I Can Read)
Exposition:  Two children, Earl and Pearl, are eager to grow a pumpkin patch.
Conflict:  Critters raid the pumpkins for lunch.
Rising Action:  They "Shoo" away chicken as the children plant and grow their pumpkin patch.
Climax:  Grasshoppers eat and munch on the pumpkins.
Falling Action:  The children can't get rid of the grasshopper invasion.
Resolution:  Chicken comes to the rescue and "clucks" at the frantic grasshoppers.

The illustrations in this book are well-developed for young readers since they develop and extend the plot while reinforcing the text.
