Don’t Count Your Chickens….
Do you like chickens, have you seen one in real life? Well, Julie and Bob learn all about them when their grandfather shows them his chickens. 
All grandfather’s types and colors of chickens pepper the pages of this book. Chickens have personalities, and there really is a pecking order. One will be the leader, or head chicken, and that one gets to eat first.
There is much excitement for the children when an egg a hen is sitting on begins to crack. Eventually it hatches, and a chick comes out!
All this and more await readers inside this volume.
This great picture book is a story, and teaches, too. Children will like the story, while they learn things without knowing it. 
The illustrations are amazing, including the inside of the front and back cover. The back of the book contains even more chicken information. It even tells what chickens are easiest to tame. Ages three through eight-years-old will enjoy this book.
Thank you, Candlewick Books, for providing Tickmenot with a book to review. Opinions are my own.
