So he decides to go to the city and see the king. His mother gives him two words of advice: be polite and helpful to everyone and keep away from the cook in the king's kitchen. Unfortunately, Medio Pollito doesn't listen to her... Book band: Purple Ideal for ages: 5+ Half as Big is a retelling of a Mexican folk tale.
