Book Review: Big Chickens

Written by Leslie Helakoski
Illustrated by Henry Cole


From The Book:

“One day four big chickens peeked out the coop window and saw a wolf sneak into the farmyard. The chickens pwocked, flocked, and rocked. They knocked into themselves and each other until one by one they tumbled out of the coop.”

Big Chickens is a funny book! This silly tale of four cowardly, but possibly courageous chickens will have your child giggling in no time!

When four chickens spot a wolf in the farmyard, their excitement has them rolling out of the chicken coop into harms way. But these chickens are way too afraid to go back home, so they go rolling along from one frightening scene to the next. Everything they encounter along this adventure scares them!

But what happens when these four chickens encounter a frightening cave, with an even more frightening growling noise? You’ll have to read this funny book to find out whether these chickens are too chicken or if they actually turn out to be “big and brave.”

So, what do we learn from these funny chickens? Although we might be scared at times, deep down, we can face any scary wolf that life brings our way! The repetition will get your child involved, and the funny faces of these frightened birds will humor your child again and again.
