Little Banty Chicken Book

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.
