Book Reviews of Big Chickens

Book Review: The biggest chickens around
Summary: 5 Stars

The big Chickens are afraid of everything. And whenever they voice their fears, it seems that is exactly what happens to them. These big chickens go on an adventure outside the farmyard fueled by fear of the predator that might get them in the henhouse. Its a cause and effect sort of story, the chickens see the peril in front of them and say I don't want to do that because this, this, and this could happen. And when they go forward, that, that and that happens.

We laughed at the pictures, which were very clever in portraying the plight of the chickens.

At the end the biggest chickens around are so proud of their chicken-ness. It is a funny read.

Summary of Big Chickens

When four big chickens see a wolf sneaking near their coop, they run into the woods to hide. But for a bunch of big chickens, running away from danger isn?t as easy as it looks. As they continue on their way, they wonder: What if they get stuck in a ditch? What if they hit an iceberg in the lake? What if they step into a cow patty? Eewww! Brimming with silliness and the kind of slapstick humor small children love, here?s a rollicking read-aloud with an uplifting message and a very satisfying ending.
