NOVEL Content: G.
Warren feels like there is something in this
world beyond peeking at chicken feed, so he goes off the farm to find
adventure. He comes across a rat who is
dreaming of Chicken Supreme, and Warren misunderstands and thinks that he can
be a supreme chicken. Warren dreams up
ways he can be a superhero, but is discouraged when he can’t even fly. Eventually, Warren finds out that the rat
wants to eat chicken and he tries to warn his farm friends that they are going
to be dinner. Warren and his friend,
Egg, finally find ways to help others and save the chickens.
This is a graphic novel for young
readers. The characters aren’t relatable,
but the story line is funny and fast.
The illustrations are bright and the text font is clear. It’s an easy read to give to kids who might like an introduction to graphic
novels, but are a bit too young to follow detailed texts.
EL (K-3)-ADVISABLE. Reviewer, C. Peterson.
