Like most people I have a few pet peeves. As mentioned before some of them involve how people spell their names. Another of mine is not getting a serious answer when I ask a question. For example, when I ask, what should we eat this week and the answer is food... well... that irks me to no end. It is daunting planning menus week after week and a little help and consideration would be lovely.
Another pet peeve is when I ask "Guess what?" And my husband answers "Chicken Butt". Oh my how my blood starts to boil. I don't consider myself to be a violent person but I just feel like pummeling him!
Do you have any weird pet peeves?
Synopsis
(This synopsis is from the back cover of the book because I really don't know how to describe this book.) When a little boy successfully uses "fowl" play and ridiculous rhymes to get his distracted dad's attention, he gets so excited he keeps going and going. Dad wants to stop the silliness, but he's no match for... chicken butt! This two-voice tale perfectly captures the familiar face-off between a child's exuberance and a parent's exhaustion. A laugh-out-loud, read-it-again delight for the whole family.
My Thoughts
My kids and my husband loved this book. They loved the rhymes, they loved the word butt, and Miss V loved the monkey at the end. I did not quite share their joy over this book, probably because of the aforementioned pet peeve. I totally felt for the parent in this story and I could feel my annoyance level rise.
The pictures are fun, the story is fun (if you can stand it), and the kids will get it and love it. So if you can handle the chicken butt, this might be a story for you and your family.
