Goodreads

Chick and Brain are back for another humorous early reader graphic novel from Newbery Honor Winner, Cece Bell. Brain finds an eyeball, and Chick says it’s an egg. The book follows their disagreement and logic about why it is one or the other. Along the way, they wake up other creatures, first a dog, then a very large cat, then…..something else. Is it an egg or an eyeball? You’ll have to read it to find out.

This is a great book for the beginning reader. The text is simple with many repeated words for building confidence. The story is silly, so young kids will find it funny and engaging. The illustrations are cartoonish and simple but definitely add to the story by providing emotion and drama. Recommended for beginning readers aged 4-7.
