Review Detail

I absolutely adore this clever, engaging story! "How to Talk Like a Chicken" masterfully blends laugh-out-loud humor with heartwarming lessons about friendship, cooperation, and perspective-taking.
The fourth-wall-breaking premise of the book is that a chicken instructor is teaching the reader the nuances of chicken communication. The silly, participatory nature of the "lessons" had my kid giggling and immediately trying out their newfound chicken noises. Strategically woven throughout the hilarity are valuable insights about empathy, humility, and the importance of truly listening to others. These lessons are so well incorporated that kids won’t even realize they are there.
The illustrations complement the text, capturing the chicken's expressive personality and the dynamic interplay between the feathered teacher and the rapt student-readers.
"How to Talk Like a Chicken" is the kind of book that becomes a favorite right away. I know it has already joined my short list of storytime favorites for the library. It's a delightful addition to any home or classroom library, guaranteed to entertain the whole family.
