My Thoughts: Every week I get together with my 6 1/2 year old grand daughter and 5 1/2 month old grandson for “reading time” which we all enjoy. Last week we got a new book in for review called “Little Banty Chicken and The Big Dream” by author Lynea Gillen and my grand daughter loved it! The story line is well-written and is one that children in this age group can completely understand. The illustrations by artist Kristina Swarner are absolutely gorgeous!
We review a lot of children’s books on this blog and I have to admit, I really like this one because it’s different than the rest. It’s a really fun read and my 6 1/2 year old grand daughter has no problems reading it to us or to her baby brother. It’s creative, fun and extremely well-written.

When my older brother was in the first grade, he use to read me the story of The Three Billy Goat Gruff everyday when he came home from school. He always saved his bag of Blue Star Potato Chips and shared them with me while he read that book to me. I will always cherish that memory of him and I doing that.
The only other book I saw listed on their site was this one; Good People Everywhere
