We checked this book out from the library in hopes that all three of my kids would enjoy it. We read this story at bedtime. This book did not disappoint me or my three kids. Even the kids dad was listening to the story. My kids giggled at each of little chicken's disrupt of the story. My husband and I chuckled because we are always interrupted at bedtime story time. It is such a cute story and I can't wait to read it to my three kids again knowing that they will giggle every time. The illustrations are amazing in this book and really bring the characters alive. We totally recommend this book as a family.
