1.Big Chickens by: Leslie Helakoski February 02, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.28
The big Chickens are afraid of everything. And whenever they voice their fears, it seems that is exactly what happens to them. These big chickens go on an adventure outside the farmyard fueled by fear of the predator that might get them in the henhouse. Its a cause and effect sort of story, the chickens see the peril in front of them and say I don't want to do that because this, this, and this could happen. And when they go forward, that, that and that happens. We laughed at the pictures, which were very clever in portraying the plight of the chickens. At the end the biggest chickens around are so proud of their chicken-ness. It is a funny read.

Woolbur is a spunky little sheep with his own creative mind! My kids both love this book and the illustrations are truly amazing. It is one of the best illustrated books we own. Mommy's High Heel Shoes

I have purchased both of Leslie Helakoski's books. I have found each to be a delightful children's story with a clever message tucked lovingly between the pages. She is truly gifted in her efforts to "teach" children through the art of story - as so often our efforts as teacher/parents, etc. get filtered out. Each book offers the child the opportunity to read and discover something about themself (i.e. courage..."The Big Chickens" or a fun with mathematics "The Smushy Bus"). But her books also allow the delicious opportunity to share the reading within the intimacy of parent-child, teacher-student, sibling-sibling and enjoy the noticing of each clever phrase, each well-chosen word to more fully take in the entire experience of her books. Much applause to Ms. Helakoski for ... Read More

There once was a duck named Max, an aspiring chef of soups. Previously, Max had made such culinary "concoctions" as Fish Soup with Curry and Pickled Lemon, Cracker Barrel Cheese and Marshmallow Soup, and Squash Gumbo. One day, Max decided to make a masterpiece of soup, but discovers that he is missing an herb to bring his dish to perfection. While out in the garden, Max's friends come by. While they discover and empty kitchen, they find a pot bubbling away on the stove. What follows can only be described as a hilarious and fun treat. With bright eye-catching illustrations and gloriously fun text, Duck Soup is sure to be a hit with young and old alike!

We initially got this book at the library. My 6 yr. old son read it right away and was laughing hard in the back seat of the car. He read it so much that I had to purchase it. It remains one of his all time favorites!

7.Maybe A Bear Ate It! by: Robie Harris January 01, 2008

I picked this one out from the library. My 6 year old read this story to my 3 year old at bed time, and it created one of those magical moments I will always remember as a mom. My littlest was in absolute stitches over the story and pictures (being tired may have added to the laughter, but he obviously connected to the expressions of the characters in the illustrations.) The text was simple enough for my first grader to confidently read, and he was delighted to have such a mirthful response to his reading. The simple text and story is made surprisingly rich by the illustrations. It would be a fun one to read at library story time for young kids.

My grandchildren and I love the "Pigeon" books. The children interact with the stories as they are read and know them by heart. Uncomplicated learning messages and illustrations easily understood by young children. Simply lots of fun!

10.Beauty and the Beaks: A Turkey's Cautionary Tale from: Holiday House 2008-08
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $6.95 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $4.64
This is a cute story about a turkey who joins turkeys on a farm only to discover his invitation at the "big house" is be the turkey for Thanksgiving. The chickens try to help him with hilarious results. The illustrations are quite interesting and part of the entertainment. I'm not sure how it's done but resemble stop action photography of models. The colors in the book are especially bright.
