Peg Gets Plucky is about a spunky chick named Peg who feels up to a big adventure with her barnyard friends. With each obstacle presented on her adventure, Peg perseveres and overcomes them with ease. The book is a simple, but cute read with cozy illustrations and a fun plot. I really enjoyed it, and will be reading it with my kiddo at bedtime tonight.
Thank you 'beaming books' for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Loved this book. Loved the simplicity of words with a great, big meaning! The illustrations make this book super fun! This is a great read for anyone needing encouragement! It will inspire one to keep trying.

SUCH a cute book for story time about the importance of being brave. I absolutely adored this book, the colours and illustrations are adorable and engaging. This will definitely be a book I can see myself recommending time and time again.

Such an adorable story of a little chick who has a hard time keeping up with his friends because of his size. As a preschool teacher, I really appreciated the use of opposites throughout the book as it creates opportunities for the students to learn about different vocabulary words and what they might mean. A game could also be played where they have to figure out what the opposite of the words in the book are. Another theme the runs through the book is perseverance as there are moments where the chick feels like he can't do anything because of his size. Eventually he does catch up with his friends and is rewarded at the end.
