I chose this book because it was just too cute.
After choosing this book I read it to my daughter, who loves it. She enjoys
saying, “Ruff -Ruff- Ruff” every time I point for her to say it. A mother hen, and her big, middle, little
chick goes to the garden every day for their favorite treats, itty- bitty beans
and potato bugs. Then one day a dog blocks their path by barking at them; mother
hen knew they were going to eat chicken feed that day. Then one by one big,
middle, and little chick decides to approach to the dog. The only chick that
succeeds was Little, who ran as fast as she could around a tree, causing the
dog rope to get wrapped around the tree. Little says time to eat to her family and ran
past the dog to the garden for their favorite treats.
The illustrations are done in artistic style carton,
using acrylic paint. The illustrations are big, bold, and full of emphasis. The
author used several emphasis like, middle chick shaking, the dog being dizzy
with stars on his eyes, and mother grabbing her heart. The text is written in Korinna, along the top,
bottom and beside the chicks as they speak.
I recommend
this book for all ages and grades, and it can be used to show bullying in some
form. This book can be used to show self-esteem and size does not matter, even
little people can get the job done. It can be used to talk about the
relationship between chicks, hen, and a dog.
In language find words such as, big, middle, little and talk about
what type of words they are(prepositions, verbs, nouns, size, position, and so forth). This book has no awards.
