Review

This book tells the story of Chuck the woodchuck and his animal friends and how they achieve their goal of eating a pie which they see cooling on an open windowsill. The book has a short sentence on each page accompanied by lovely illustrations depicting the animals' attempts to reach the pie. The same words are repeated so that a young reader can develop confidence in reading a simple story. This book would be appropriate for a child just learning to read. The book is of a larger format than traditional early readers and this allows for the illustrations to capture the reader's interest. This is a very cute book!

Overall Book Score: excellent
