Chicken Boy is an emotional book about friendship. I could really picture Tobin’s feelings throughout the book. Tobin lives with his father in a messy house. Tobin is eager to pick up the house and make it more of a home for the two of them. Raising chickens helps Tobin and his dad build a relationship. This started because Tobin’s friend really wanted to study chickens. So Tobin finally asked his dad to get chickens because he and his friend had made a deal that if Tobin got chickens then his friend would teach him about them. Tobin not only learns about chickens but learns about his dad too. I would recommend this book to 3rd and 4th graders. Reviewed by E.K., Grade 4.

Chicken Boy is about a boy named Tobin. He lives in a messy house with his dad and siblings. Tobin is determined to clean this house up. He makes a friend named Henry who saw that Tobin was a good person to handle chickens. Henry tells him to get chickens and it seems that these chickens brighten up Tobin’s world. I would recommend this book. HMB- Fourth grade. |
