There’s something that I’ve noticed.
Perhaps you’ve seen it, too.
Life is so much better
when it’s me and you.
From the time we are young, we are drawn to special people—the ones who
complete our sentences and who know our favorite color, food, and song. The
people who understand us and make us happier than anyone else in the world.
After all, no matter how much time passes or how many miles tug us apart, there
is no one quite like a best friend.
From New York Times bestselling creators Pat Zietlow Miller
and Eliza Wheeler, this jubilant celebration of friendship and the adventures
of childhood will make your heart sing.
Rating: 5/5
Review:
I absolutely loved this sing-songy picture book. It's just a pure and beautiful book.
The artwork is absolutely amazing. It's stunning and looks so beautiful. I loved the colors that were used and the way everything was illustrated.
The book itself is just pure. It's a book about always being friends, even when you get older and grow apart. It's not a long book or anything like that, but it's absolutely beautiful and I personally loved reading it.

A new young chapter book series about a chicken who loves math, science, and learning new things--by New York Times bestselling author Nancy Krulik for fans of Unlimited Squirrel and Bumble and Bee.
Chirpy is a young chicken stuck in the family coop. But she's not like the
other chickens who just sit around peck peck pecking all day. She's intrigued
by the children who come home from a place called school. They always look so
happy! (Well, most days.)
So Chirpy sneaks onto the bus one morning, hides in the classroom . . . and
discovers a true love of math. When she shares what she's learned with the
other chickens, they think she's one kernel short of a cob.
Even so, Chirpy is determined to find a formula for fowl success by pecking
away. But when a hungry fox tries to attack the coop, can she find the equation
for a simple solution?
With lively two-color art throughout and a fun hands-on simple machine
activity, this eggs-ellent hilarious young chapter book series starter is a
Grade-A pick for emerging readers to get them eggs-ited about science and math.
Reviews:
"This STEM series debut for newly independent readers provides a
light but engaging look at simple machines."—School Library Journal
"A smart, sprightly chapter book series starter. . . . Short,
dialogue-driven paragraphs by Krulik (the Princess Pulverizer series) are
peppered with 'eggs-tra' humor and chicken wordplay . . . while Alder’s
(Doggo and Pupper) cartoon spot illustrations, rendered in tones of
yellow, gray, and black, provide plenty of visual characterization"—Publishers
Weekly
Rating: 4.5/5
Review:
I enjoyed this book more than I had expected to. It's a book made for lower or middle level elementary students that teaches them about concepts of science and math but from a chicken's point of view. It's also interspersed with illustrations that help display the concepts.
Chirpy is our main character and she's tired of being in the coop. She wants to see what else is out there, particularly this place called "school". One day, she gets her wish. While there she witnesses a class building simple machines and a girl skip counting. Chirpy is interested in what she learned and brings the information with her when she returns to the coop. It might come in handy.
One of the things that worked very well for this book is how the topics are introduced and discussed. It didn't feel forced in just to teach Chirpy about science and math. I can buy a class working on simple machine. I can see a kid skip counting and another questioning what she's doing. It was woven in so seamlessly with humor that it made for an engaging read, even if it wasn't meant for somebody like me.
This is apparently going to be a series and I for one look forward to what other topics Krulik teaches.
