Chicks Don’t Eat Candy!

Chicks Don’t Eat Candy by Kelly Tills
You are in for a sweet treat. This little book is #5 in Kelly Tills’ Awesome Animals series, but this is my first. What a HOOT!
Did you know that the delightful thing about chicks is that they do not eat candy? Why not? The simple yet engaging narrative and fun illustrations explain the science behind tongues and taste buds.
My four-year-old grandson loved the silly banter and had fun showing everyone his tongue and taste buds. “See? I can taste sweets, like candy and doughnuts. Chicks can’t!”
I also appreciated the use of the dyslexia friendly font that aids eye tracking and letter recognition. I can’t wait to add the other books to my grandson’s library.
Meow is Not a Cat
By Kelly Tills, Illustrated by Max Saladriagas
Kelly Tills has been a busy and prolific author. She also recently launched Meow is Not a Cat. This very funny story follows a child who definitely sees and moves through the world to a different drumbeat. Idioms are taken literally, and the different ways of interpreting the world lead to creative outcomes. A grumpy cat and troop of monkeys add to the hilarity. Kids will love the spirited Meow and grown-ups will definitely relate to the orderly teacher, Mrs Snickity.

“Chicks don’t eat Candy” reminds me of the Pigeon Book series by Mo Willems. My youngest son loves the series. His favourite is “Pigeon finds a hotdog.”

I loved reading picture books when Sarah was little… our favourite was Hairy Maclary From Donaldsons Dairy. There was a series of them and they were fabulous. Thanks for linking up!
