"The story tells the tale of a chick who is wandering amongst different domestic animals trying to find another mother and finally returns to his mother, the chicken. Each picture in the book is framed with a wide decorative frame in color in the corners of which appears the silhouette of one of the animals and the landscapes in which the story takes place which look very European. The frames, the layout and the style, changing from page to page, are all in Art Nouveau style namely trying to decorate the modern book with the abundance of ideas characteristic of the middle- ages illustrators".
