This book could benefit young and middle aged children. The illustrations were extremely vivid and detailed. You could retell the story just by looking at the illustrations. There is also a little humor in the book. ( )

Cute book that grows on you. My six year old daughter liked this book but she wasn’t that interested in reading it again right away. However, the more she heard me read the book to her the more she enjoyed it. Now she wants me to read it everyday. As an adult, I also enjoy this book. There are many books out there that children really enjoy and adults dread reading. This is not one of those. Out favorite part is the way the girl keeps teasing the chickens. ( )

This was a delightful book about learning to read. It included characters that can be found in real life. I live on a farm and can see my future kids enjoying this book and perhaps reading it to our own chickens! ( )

This picture book describes how to teach chickens to read. The story progresses from beginning to sound out letter sounds to reading whole sentences and books. Of course, the techniques used to teach chickens to read also apply to teaching anyone to read. The author has wisely placed a list at the end of the book that summarizes the steps to reading that were part of the story. Websites for further information are included.

My favorite part of this book is the illustrations! They are cartoon-like and colorful. Watch out for that fox! He can be found on nearly every page.

This is a fun and humorous look at learning to read, and can best be enjoyed by families and children. Be sure to let the adults read the book too!

I received this book from the publisher and from NetGalley, as part of LibraryThing Early Reviewers program. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own. ( )

Learning to read (in English) can be so much fun!
The story shows a little girl teaching her chickens (while the fox hides here and there trying to catch a chicken). The principles are sound and make learning to read a lot of FUN.
The illustrations by Rachel Suzanne are fun, simple, colorful, and DELIGHTFUL.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Gnome Road Publishing via NetGalley. Thank you! ( )
