First sentence: Sabrina Sue lived on a farm. One night she saw the moon and the stars. I want to go to the moon, she thought. She thought about the moon in the daytime. She dreamed about the moon at night. She sang about it.

Premise/plot: Sabrina Sue is a fantastic chicken who stars in her own series of books for young readers. This book is part of a larger series. Sabrina Sue has always been a dreamer--a big dreamer though small in size, and obviously a chicken at that. In this one she dreams of going to the moon....

My thoughts: I've greatly enjoyed Sabrina Sue in the past. I didn't quite love this newest adventure. Some of her dreams seem lofty and difficult, but a chicken going to the moon is a bit too over-the-top for my overthinking brain! Sometimes I have to be in the right mood to enjoy. Definitely some books you have to suspend your disbelief to fully embrace and enjoy.

I do recommend the series.… (mehr)

First sentence: Sabrina Sue lived on a farm. She loved being outside and looking up at the sky. She saw lots of birds flying around. They looked so happy and free! I am a bird, Sabrina Sue thought. I want to fly too!

Premise/plot: Sabrina Sue is a chicken who wants to FLY. Will she get the chance to fly???

My thoughts: I expected a humorous book about a chicken who wanted to fly...and that's exactly what I got. I expected a twist by the end...and again I got that twist ending. Was it the twist ending I thought it would be? No. Since my guess was wrong, I'll share my wrong guess with you. I guessed that she would "fly" in an airplane to make her dreams come true.

Looking back, my guess seems silly since the cover gives it away. But I guess that just shows how rarely I look to a cover for clues!… (mehr)
