Big Chickens

Big Chickens

ONE DAY.... four big chickens saw a wolf outside their coop. The chickens pwocked,flocked, and rocked. These four chickens wander away because they are chicken to go back to the coop. They keep running into obstacles, and yes they act like chickens. In the end will they face their fears, you will see. This is a great,funny,and hilarious book by Leslie Helakoski. I think it is funny because they keep running into obstacles and they say they want to go, and they keep ending up getting into trouble on the obstacles. It teaches you that sometimes you've got to face your fears, it doesn't mean that if a bully is making you do something and you don't you're a chicken. It's about facing fears that will make a difference in your life.

Response To Literature "BIg Chickens"

"I'm afraid to go home" said one chicken. " oohh-" said the others " Me too" " Me three" "Me four" Four cautious, careful, cowardly, chickens walked deeper in the woods until...

The book "Big Chicken" written by : Leslie Helakaski is about 4 massive chickens, who's afriad of EVEYRYTHING !!! "I'm afraid to go home," "I'm horrified to jump," "I'm scared of cows!" Will they ever make it alive without the strong, powerful animal eat them ??

My opinon of the "Big Chicken" is funny and silly, this book will make you crack- up. It involves alliteration such as... the chicken, picked, pecked and pocked. This book also has rhyming, shrieked, swueaked and freaked. Whenever you feel like you need a laugh pick up the book Big Chicken.

The author's purpose and message is "to entertain redaers with a funny story" I think the message the author's is trying ot give readers is Don't run-away from your fears, face them and it might turn out something you will never expect. - Big Chicken

So whenever you feel like a mood for a laigh and a entertaining book pick up the book " Big Chicken" By Leslie Helakaski. Trust me, you, my friend is gonna laugh.

Big Chickens

Have you ever had a fear of something you couldn't get over for a while? Well that's what happens in the book Big Chickens.
Big Chickens is a book by Leslie Helakoski where four chickens are run out of their coop by a wolf. They are too scared to go back and too scared to do anything else. Finally they end up in a cave and find out the wolf is in there with them! Big Chickens is a great book about overcoming fears and troubles.
Big Chickens is a great book that I highly recommend with laughs and jokes like
"The chickens squeaked, squirmed, and squealed. They squawked at themselves and each other unil one by one........." And that is just one of the funny phrases that makes this book wonderful!
Leslie Helakoski used the message: "overcome your fears and made an entertaining book about it!
Big Chickens is a great book that will leave rolling on the ground laughing when your done reading it. I loved it and think everyone else will! Scout

The Stupendous Dodgeball Fiasco

The Stupendous Dodgeball Fiasco is an amazing book because it keeps you smiling ,laughing,and wondering what is going to happen next . At first I thought it was about a Pooper Scooping boy in the circus but that boy wants to make a change in dodgeball. I thought the main character Phillip was funny .If you got my opinion on this I would name it the award winning book of the year. If Janice Repka made a second book I would be the first to buy it. I thought this book had some messages.1.Doesn,t matter were you come from as long as people know who you really are. 2. Don,t be afraid were you come from. 3.Don,t be afraid to stand up for what you believe in.And that is exactly what Phillip Edward Stanislaw did.Judge Monn finally found out how it feels to get hit with a dodgeball .So she finally told the dodgeball company to make soft Dodgeballs.
