Book Reviews of Big Chickens
Book Review: *Absolutely Hilarious*
Summary: 5 Stars
Big Chickens by Leslie Helakoski is a very funny book that should be read with LOTS of expression. When I select several books to read to my grandkids, they always want this one read first. Maybe it's because they know how much gramma enjoys reading it with great gusto! This is not a book for quiet story time, this book is just so funny everyone will be laughing.
The illustrations by Henry Cole are simply perfect. We laugh over and over every time we see those silly chickens in their cute outfits pwocking, flocking and rocking.
The storyline is simple, the chickens see a wolf sneak into the farmyard and they run away and have quite an adventure. At one point in the story the chickens come to a lake and this is how the conversation goes:
"I'm afraid of the water," said one chicken.
"Ohh...." said the others.
"Me too."
"Me three."
"Me four."
"What if the boat sinks?"
"What if we fall in the lake?"
"What if we hit an iceberg?"
The chickens sputtered, shuddered and muttered. They fluttered into themselves and each other; until...
the boat tipped, and one by one they fell out.
Buy this book for your kids and grandkids, it will you bring a lot of laughter into your story time.
