A Little Chicken
By Tammi Sauer
Illustrated by Dan Taylor
Sterling Children’s Books, 2019. Picture Book.

Dot is a little chicken who “was a little chicken”. She is scared of all of the things (especially wolves, bears, and questionable lawn ornaments). One day while she is putting up “safety features” in the chicken coop she accidentally knocks out an egg—one of her soon to be siblings. Dot must become brave to save the day, and her sibling. This is a cute story about an adorable heroine who isn’t perfectly brave—but is perfect in every other way. This story will help shy and somewhat scared readers realize that it is okay to be scared as long as you are brave when it counts. Cute and hilarious all at the same time!

Review: The House with Nobody in It

By
  The House with Nobody in It By Jon Klassen Somerville, Massachusetts: Candlewick Press, 2026. Board Book.  The House with Nobody in It may very well be your child's first ghost story. The simple story begins with the narrator explaining to readers that this house used to have someone in it, but there is now nobody there. Toddlers and preschoolers will love contradicting this statement as they peek through the house that the board book forms, as the ghost is clearly visible throughout the story.  This unique and imaginative board book is the perfect thing to read during Halloween season! The book itself plays into the experience, with cutouts and clever turns that make it especially interactive. The illustrations are superb, simple but well crafted, adding to the story's theme as a whole. This will likely be a book that gets many repeat reads!
