Chicken Little


Chicken Little

Written & Illustrated by Laura Rader

Summary: One day, Chicken Little discovers that something terrible is happening in her kingdom: the sky is falling! In order to save her very dear home, she decides that she must run and tell the King about the present danger. Along her path to the palace, she runs into many of her friends. Each one decides to join Chicken Little on her journey to see the King. When all of the animal friends finally arrive at the palace, they are all in for a big surprise when his Majesty, the King, discovers the real reason for the falling sky.

Review: With colorful drawings, repetitive sayings, and animal names that rhyme, this book is sure to entertain young readers. Anywhere from PreK to 2nd grade would be my recommendation. It is a fun story that ends happily and is content appropriate for this age group.

P.S. Dr. Giles, thank you for the book! ☺

The Day the Crayons Quit

The Day the Crayons Quit Written by Drew Daywalt & Illustrated by Oliver Jeffers Overview: One day in class, a little boy named Duncan took out his crayons and found a stack of letters with his name on them. Each letter was written by one of his crayons. The red crayon, the pink crayon, the green crayon, and so on. Each crayon had written Duncan about he felt in regards to their overuse or underuse in his drawings or other issues that they felt needed to be addressed. When Duncan was finished reading all of the letters he tired to think of a way to appease all of his crayons and decided to draw and incredibly creative picture with all of his crayons.
