Here a Chick Where a Chick


Here a Chick Where a Chick? By Suse MacDonald

Ages 3-5

Here a Chick Where a Chick was a very colorful and interactive picture book. It appears as though there are different textiles with each color used in the pictures. Each page repeats the same saying “Here a chick where a chick?” which I think is good for beginning readers. Then behind a flap on each page is an animal hiding, in which they say “No, not here a chick…” while describing the animal that is there. On the last page there is finally a nest of chicks. I think this book is also a great tool for learning animals names and the sounds they make because each animal is saying their sound, for example “No, not here a chick…just one cow with a Moo Moo Moo!” I think this would be a fun book for children to read because of the pull flaps, it lets them do something while they’re reading. Even if they don’t know how to read yet, this would still be an entertaining book to look at. There are not many pages so it goes fast and the letters are in large print which is less intimidating for a beginning reader.
