Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K–Three chicks are keeping watch over an egg. As time wears on, they fall asleep, only to be awakened by a noise. The sound marks the hatchlings arrival, which throws the chicks into a tizzy. They cheep, they peep, they creep, and they leap into a heap to meet the newest member of their family. After they welcome it, they all fall back to sleep, including the baby. Using one-syllable, easy rhyming words, the story comes alive through the almost 3-D collage art. The illustrator uses terry cloth, a few well-placed feathers, and an eggshell or two to create adorable chicks sure to capture a childs heart. Like the text, the pictures are minimal but together they strike the perfect balance to create a charming picture book for sharing with the very young.–Linda Zeilstra Sawyer, Skokie Public Library, IL

So CUTE!,
This review is from: Cheep! Cheep! (Hardcover)
This book is so cute! The artwork is so adorable. I have looked at it more times than I can count and I still can't get over how cute it is. I gave my niece a copy of this book when she was 16 months old, and 8 months later, it is still her favorite.

Very cute,
By
This review is from: Cheep! Cheep! (Hardcover)
Cheep! Cheep! is very cute. I do find myself 'explaining' the simplistic text or adding words as I read. For example, one page reads: 'Heap heap heap heap.' So, as the adult reader, I might say: 'Oh, look, the chicks fell down! They're piled in a heap heap heap!'The sturdy pages, rounded edges, and smaller size of the book make it a very cute baby gift.

Best Book for Big Sister/Brother,
This review is from: Cheep! Cheep! (Hardcover)
This is the book I always present to the "only" child who is about to become the Big Brother or Big Sister. The birth of a sibling is a common picture-book theme, but the newcomer is usually portrayed (however humorously) as a monster, usurper, or rival. In the tender and funny CHEEP! CHEEP!, the new arrival is a welcome addition to the snuggly group. A sweet reassurance, packaged in a few brilliantly-chosen words. And the illustrations are utterly delightful.
