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: 5 Stars
Hide and Go Beak by Nancy Krulik and Charlie Adler is the book I wish I had when I was in elementary school. A word that I’ve recently learned is edutainment, which is where something entertaining has an educational aspect. This book embodies all that and more - I think more children will be reached as a result because it’s entertaining and doesn’t feel like a textbook.
The creators did a great job blending science, math, and humor in this book. I’m well past the intended audience age in my twenties, but I was still very entertained and amused by the read. I think this would be a great book to read aloud or have young readers practice their reading with.
Thank you to the author and illustrator, the publisher at Pixel+Ink, Edelweiss, and Jaime at Rockstar Book Tours for allowing me to read an early copy of the book as part of my participation in the tour. I appreciate the opportunity immensely. Please note - I voluntarily read and reviewed Hide and Go Beak. All opinions are my own and not influenced in any way.
