PICTURE BOOK Content: G.
Chico is
a scared little chick, so his dad makes up a story about the brave Golden
Chicken who lives in the mountains of Peru to try and help Chico not be
afraid. Chico decides that he
wants to meet the Golden Chicken so he climbs up the tallest mountains to find
him. Along his journey he comes
across a gang of bad llamas who laugh at his story of the Golden Chicken and
point him to the highest peak.
When Chico gets to the top of the peak, there isn’t a Golden Chicken,
and a big wind pushes Chico off the peak and he starts to soar through the
sky. When he finally comes down,
it’s at his village that is being ransacked by the bad llamas, but they believe
Chico to be the Golden Chicken and run away.
This is a great book about conquering our fears. The illustrations are bright and Chico
is someone we can all relate to in some way.
EL (K-3)-ADVISABLE.
