Chicken Break, a children's picture book from writer Cate Berry and illustrator Charlotte Alder, is simple fun with some wild and crazy chickens…
These chickens (ten to be exact) have one mission: to escape the coop and have some wild fun. One by one, the chickens break out. When all ten are out, they let loose! But chickens get tired, and after their wild day, one by one, they head back for some much needed relaxation. Even party animals need some rest.
Filled with spunk and spirit, this is a fun and energetic way of engaging young readers to count to ten and from ten to one!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A clutch of 10 chickens escape their coop and enjoy a day on the town in this counting book. The concept begins by counting forward in verse, adding a chicken and an escape-plan element at a time: "One chicken, standing guard./ Two chickens scan the yard," writes Berry. (In the book's punniest moment, Alder renders the birds sitting upon a woolen-hatted sheep as "four chickens on the lamb.") After a successful breakout and a day out stealing pretzels, ice skating, and attending "Bantam of the Opera" the chickens attempt to head home for a different kind of "chicken break": a snooze. The story then counts backward from 10, getting more chaotic as different birds take multiple modes of transport home ("Five chickens launch jet packs"). Counting chickens is a well-trod plotline, but very young readers will likely enjoy the fowl free-for-all. Ages 3 5.
