The WellieWishers are raising chickens! The girls are thrilled when their hen, Queen Ruby, begins laying eggs. But when the first egg hatches, Queen Ruby doesn’t seem to know what to do—so Emerson takes charge. Soon the tiny chick, Princess Peep, is following her everywhere. Caring for a chick is a bigger job than Emerson expected!

This charming chapter book series is written by Valerie Tripp, beloved American Girl author, who penned all the books in the Felicity, Josefina, Kit, Molly, and Maryellen series, and many of the books in the Samantha series."
