Chicken BIG

Chicken BigChicken Big by Keith Graves


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


“On a teeny little farm, in an itty-bitty coop, a very small hen laid a big, humongous egg.” The giant chicken that emerges is an outcast among the others and they interject ideas as to what kind of animal he truly is. He’s a squirrel? He’s a hippopotamus? When things begin to go wrong at the farm the gigantic chicken’s big heart is revealed. Will the others be able to see past his different appearance and accept him for the chicken that he is?


This is a cute twist on the classic tale of Chicken Little. Chicken Big is told with cartoon like drawings, complete with phrases is speech bubbles. The large chicken legs on the cover are eye catching and kids will ask for repeated reading of this one.
