“New Chicks at the Peaceable” is an informative story for children revealing new chicks hatching at the author’s farm. Young readers and listeners will enjoy meeting the chicks, discovering their day-to-day lives and how they learn from their mother. The book is wordy, with full page text, so it might be a bit challenging for younger readers.

The book shares educational terminology, and I especially love the elements of faith, obedience, and forgiveness. Sharing Scripture and a message about God always being with us is super special and meaningful, and the true-life illustrations of the chicks are cute and entertaining.

This sweet book answers questions, teaches farm terminology, even shares the lyrics to Grami’s evening chick-feeding song.

#CoverLoverBookReview received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions are 100% mine.… (mehr)

This is such an adorable book about chicks. I loved meeting the different breeds and how to take care of them. The mother hen was dedicated to making sure her babies were well taken care of. We do that as well with our children. It is exciting to watch them grow, play and enjoy live.

The mother hen was thrilled when her baby chick hatched. Patsy Peeper was finally here. I love how the other animals at The Peaceable all got along and respected each other. As the chicks grow they learn to be careful of things that may want to harm them. Our parents watch us until we grow up. Then when we are are our own we can always depend on God . He is always watching over us.

Thank you for a book I can share with my own granddaughters. My oldest one who is three adores chickens and has many she takes care of. They let her pick them up and run to her when it is time to eat. The Chicken Terminology at the end of the book is very helpful and the perfect story to read along with your children.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.… (mehr)

I don't recommend this from a Biblical stand point. I found the story interesting but the liberties were great and the way the men slaved over the women and were so selfish with the women being whiny was just so bad.

I found this to be how it was throughout the whole series and held out only because I hoped the author would have grown between writing each of the books. And, the fact all of the women were so needy of babies and that it happened every time with the women pretty much the same.

And, look, I get that the men sinned but the fact they loved their women more than even caring about God bothered me.… (mehr)
