3+: Six Little Chicks - Jez Alborough

Release Date: 01/03/12

BOOK BLURB:

Busy Hen has five little chicks to look after while making sure number six - still an egg- stays warm. The last thing she needs is hairy, scary Fox sniffing about. She is frantic when the other birds warn her that her chicks are in danger, but her five little chicks are a lot braver than she realises! The rollicking rhythmic text is rammed with catchy refrains that beg to be shouted out. Children will love the repeated action words and thinking of new ways to act them out.

REVIEW:

Six Little Chicks, some farm animals and a crafty fox in this wonderful story by Jez Alborough. It has some wonderful rhyming language, some great refrains and of course illustrations that match the storytelling style beautifully. Add to this some smart thinking, different animals banding together and a wonderful outcome all in, and this is a story that many people will enjoy reading time and again to their children. Don’t be surprised if this becomes a firm favourite and of course remember to encourage your Young Reader to join in to get the most from it.

Our Reviewing System

Each title will in addition to having a review will be accompanied by a paw rating out of five. Obviously the more paws, the better the title.

Here's how it breaks down:

- This title is as good as it gets, a novel to set your standards by, you cannot afford to let this one slip by.

- Still a cracking novel, lots to be had from the tale and a great one to own.

- It's OK, its an acceptable tale but by no means is it going to set the world alight

- We're not huge fans, it might appeal to a select few but in our opinion has little to offer the genre or the reader.

- Leave this title well alone, we didn't like it in the slightest and felt that our reading time was completely wasted. Save your penny's for something better.
