Description
Chickens, chickens everywhere -- going to the county fair! Follow a family of chickens as they prepare for their big outing. You'll see chickens wondering what to wear, baking pies, painting their toes and knitting socks. A stroll through town reveals that everyone else is excited for the festivities too. There are so many sights to see! Over there we see racers sprinting to the finish line. Over here, farmers showing off their best crops. Clowns, entertainers and musicians take the stage. And don't forget the rides: the Ferris wheel, super slide and merry-go-round. Grab some cotton candy and popcorn, because this very silly book will entertain and challenge young readers with searching and counting elements.

I enjoyed reading this to my two children and judging by their faces, they enjoyed hearing it. I loved everything in this book. The pictures were bright and colorful, the chickens were cute, and the story rhymed. Made it super fun to read. I would easily spend money for this book if I hadn't gotten it for free through Netgalley.
I love books by Jo Ellen Bogart, and this one is no exception. It is not the typical book by her, but more in the line of a Richard Scary book. Each page of this book is covered with activity. Chickens are depicted in all sorts of settings, doing various activities. The story is told in rhyme with questions that will start a discussion with the reader and listeners. I love the section at the back of the book where each pages asks how many .... where children can go back and count chickens doing different things. My grandson loved this book. He kept asking questions and finding more things. This is a book that can be read over and over with something different attracting attention each time. A great book for public, classroom, school and family libraries.
This delightfully charming tale shows a community of chickens having a peaceful and playful day at a county fair. The colorful and summery illustrations will inspire you to imagine yourself into the beautiful fair scene. There are plenty of opportunities for interactive reading. Recommended for one-on-one reading or for groups.
