Customer Reviews

Love those chickens!

Although the book is for my almost 2 year old son, I love it more than he does! His passion is DOGGIES, and I love CHICKENS! So, it's hit with me! The pictures are darling, the phrases adorable, and all in all, a fantastic little board book!

Busy Books Series a Hit

Every book in this series has been a hit at our house. We checked out Busy Monkeys at our local library, and it became a scavenger hunt to find more titles whenever we visited a new library or different branch. We got them for my toddler, but my 8 and 13-yr. old love them too! Great photography--makes you say "awwww" or just giggle, and the rhyming words are creative and fun. Busy Chickens will be in the Easter basket from Nana!

Great series of books for little ones

Our 18 month old daughter has loved these books since she turned one. We have several 'busy' books and she enjoys them all. I don't mind reading these over some other books because the pictures are nice and they books are short enough that they hold her attention.

Review from www.firrkids.com

This is the first children's book I have ever laid eyes on that has been written solely about chickens. Some board books can be a bit, well, boring. This one is anything but! If asked, I would have said chickens to be brown. In fact, they come in dozens of colors - spotted, speckled and striped. Toddlers will sit right up and take notice of the brilliant colors and bold plumage. In addition to being colorful, it turns out these chickens are leading pretty busy lives. It isn't all egg laying and pecking in the dust down on the farm. These lively chicks particularly enjoy rhyming and therefore lay claim to plenty of grooming and zooming, searching and perching, flapping and napping. Everyone can agree that young chicks are absolutely adorable (doubters, see Exhibit A above) but full grown chickens don't get nearly enough credit. They are such an ubiquitous animal that it takes a focused book like this to remind us how extraordinary they can be. Summed up, this board book puts on a show that will inspire your toddler to start cheeping and leaping about your house in no time. Busy Chickens is the tenth book in the popular "Busy" series from Tricycle Press. An excellent addition!
