Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2-- An easy reader about individuality. Jenny Hen's first three little chicks hatch right on time. The fourth is slow to hatch, and so slow to learn his lessons that the other animals on the farm suggest that Jenny Hen call this one "Slow Chick." She resists, and rightly so, for when the littlest chick is faced with a real danger, he shows that he has learned his lessons very well. Hoban's softly colored animals give the perfect touch to this well-written, very easy-to-read story that will amuse beginning readers. Another winner in the growing list of collaborations from this team. --Sharron McElmeel, Cedar Rapids Community Schools, Iowa

This review is from: Quick Chick: Level 1 (Easy-to-Read, Puffin) (Hardcover)

The story has enough repetitions to satisfy a young reader and an amusing ending. The writing is good but the lay-out and pictures are not. The book is for "Just Getting Started" readers but it lacks the clear, bold typography and illustrations children benefit from at this level. It's a book that a child who is just starting to read would glance at and put back on the shelf because it looks wordy and difficult. Julia Hoban needs an illustrator with a brighter pallette and stronger line to really complement the story.
