Christmas is an exciting time of year for most children. Also, sometimes it is painfully slow in arriving. To an eager child, each day seems twice as long as normal. So what’s a kid to do while waiting for the big day?LITTLE CHICKEN’S BIG CHRISTMAS, the newest picture book by Authors Katie Davis and Jerry Davis, is the story of Little Chicken as he waits for Christmas Day. When Little Chicken wakes up, he asks his mama if it’s Christmas. Mama Chicken tells him “Not yet” and they have lots to do before Christmas. Little Chicken watches Mama Chicken as she goes about the day, preparing for Christmas. He keeps repeating his question, and Mama Chicken keeps giving him the same answer: “Not yet.” He’s a good natured child with a sweet smile on his face while he waits for Christmas. Few words are used in the story, but the illustrations clearly show a loving relationship between Mama Chicken and Little Chicken. Speaking of illustrations, Katie Davis has done a beautiful job making the book kid friendly with simple characters and plenty of space to not overwhelm a child. The pages are bright and colorful and portray the fun mood of the story just right.Children will relate to Little Chicken’s impatience and wait anxiously for the big day to arrive. A humorous twist at the end will make young readers laugh, at least it did this old reader. LITTLE CHICKEN’S BIG CHRISTMAS is delightful story for the holidays. A delightful surprise for children to find in their stockings, as well. So pick up a couple of copies for the wee ones in your life and watch them grin as Little Chicken’s story unfolds.The author provided me with an eCopy of this book for my honest review.###
