Book Review: Chicken Fun by Mary Jo Huff

Chicken Fun by MaryJo Huff
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

For the chicken fan inside all of us.

Chicken Fun by Mary Jo Huff and illustrated by Wendy Fedan gives readers exactly what the title says: Chicken Fun, and that fun is for the cartoon chickens and readers as they smile their way through the ten chickens' antics. With bright colors, clever rhymes, and delightful drawings that magically portray the flock's energetic movements, readers of all ages will find something to enjoy.

Each set of pages highlights the activities of a pair of fluffy cartoon chickens, who could be dancing, munching on snacks, outrunning an aggressive bee, or even going on a date. Rhyming descriptions tell the story, which are punctuated by a funny "Bakk Baba Bakk Baba Bakk Bakk Bakk" refrain that, if delivered with gusto, will capture the attention and amusement of young listeners during a read-aloud. Rhyming, cadence, numbers, and counting are all there to build young ideas and reinforce familiarity with such concepts.

My boys would have loved this book when they were small, and I would have been clucking and "Baba-Bakking" until I couldn't possibly have "baba-ed" out another "bakk" to save my life. I recommend CHICKEN FUN for reading aloud and sharing with the youngest readers and listeners among us at home, in the classroom, or in afterschool programs.

Book Review: One Little Witch by Crystal Beach

One Little Witch by Crystal Beach
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another adorable children’s picture book from the creative and talented Crystal Beach!

One Little Witch is the first book in author/illustrator Crystal Beach’s new children’s picture book series, Little Witch. This adorable debut is full of giggle-inducing rhyme and vivid, color-drenched illustrations that will have children begging for it to be read “just one more time!” While the plot revolves around a little young witch watching over her crop, the rhymes delightfully guide young readers or read-aloud listeners through counting the number of pumpkins, revealing the fun hidden secret inside each one. Perfect for the upcoming Halloween season!

I recommend ONE LITTLE WITCH to parents, caregivers, and those who have young children in their lives for reading aloud and early readers.
