The Chicken Who Loved Books by Angela Hunt
5.0
Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
I may have gotten a little too into reading this one to the nephew.
This is an absolutely freaking adorable story about a Little Red hen who loves being read to. And her human, Henry, comes every day to the chicken coop to read her and the other chickens stories. And it's her favorite part of the day.
Until one day, Henry shows up with a flat square that doesn't do much other than make noise and keeps Henry completely distracted and - most importantly - not reading, Little Red has to come up with a plan to get Henry back to reading.
Little Red gets more frantic the further we go, and by the end, Jeremiah all but put his hand on my mouth to get me to settle down.
Also, quite appropriately, he told me he preferred physical books, as opposed to ones on his tablet.
I think this one knocked it out of the park on both those fronts.
