When Sally's egg cracks, what emerges is something green and scaly with big yellow eyes. Argus isn't like the other chicks;he isn't small and fuzzy, and he doesn't like seeds and bugs. He'd rather eat other chicks (or children, as he grows even bigger). Watching the other kids playing with their identical chicks, Sally wonders, would she be better off without Argus? With sly humor and a subtle tug at the heartstrings, Michelle Knudsen hatches a story about learning not just to tolerate, but to love what is different, while Andrea Wesson's endearing illustrations bring the tale to life with quirky details and offbeat charm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763637903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 10.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Black-Eyed Susan Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Young Hoosier Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/29\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011 pg. 111\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2010 pg. 1269\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011 pg. 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e142834 \/ Argus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michelle Knudsen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43897002786997,"sku":"9780763637903","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_92a3154c-41c7-46b3-b16a-8ceb34baaa05.jpg?v=1712632997","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/argus-9780763637903","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
