Excellent

I read this book to my kids and they loved it, now I'm going to buy a copy for my niece and nephew. It's just one of those books that you can really smile about, it took me back to when my parents used to read to me when I was a child.

"Freddie the Free Range Chicken" will make you Smile!!

If you want to buy a nice gift for yourself, a friend, a special or everyday occasion for a child or family you know - " Freddie the Free-Range Chicken " is that book. It's a light, funny and easy to read and follow little story where if you read it out loud and follow the wonderful drawings-- you will even catch yourself smiling and laughing to yourself! I would think that the author ,Jill, also probly is a very warm parent herself- and I am sure that she wrote it with the thought of sharing some of that warmth with others too as we all like to share smiles - so diffinitely buy this book too as a " mother/father and child reading book " for your children or for a family close to you! and you will all laugh together! The world can use some more " Parent/Child " Bonding books these days--and this is one of the few ones out there! With a funny-light hearted early introduction too into starting youngsters thinking about respecting and learning about the Animals on our planet in which we all must live on! and it's not done in any " preachy " type of way or talked-down type of way to children. I am surprised it is not also " grouped " with other children readers, maybe because there are so few good ones out there any more that are just " Fun " books! Chris from New York
