Chicken Soup

Chicken Soup, by Jean Van Leeuwen and Illustrated by David Gavril is a great story for kids to enjoy. It is geared for children ages 4-8. I found this to be an entertaining book on how farm animals try to help out the chick. They're all worried that the chick is going to become chicken soup so they keep telling it to hide from the farmer. It turns out in the end that the farmer was making chicken soup because the chick was sick! It had a lot of good pictures and was a creative story. I would recommend this book to anyone to read whether in the classroom or just for fun. It helps show that friends help each other out but also that they should not always think the worst will happen.
