Review Quotes for Do Chickens Have Lips?: Chicken and Egg Book 3
Kristine Zimmerman for Readers' Favorite
“Chicken and Egg, Book 3: Do Chickens Have Lips? is laugh-out-loud funny. Deborah Stevenson has created a marvelous comedy duo that kids and adults will enjoy. I love the repeated phrase "a ridiculously long time". There are so many subtle and not-so-subtle jokes in the book that makes this a perfect read-aloud. As a retired children's librarian, Do Chickens Have Lips? would be a book I would have read frequently in storytime. In my experience, kids love funny books and enjoy being in on the humor. Chicken and Egg are memorable characters that kids will ask for again and again. The illustrations by David Stedmond are perfect. Egg and Chicken are so expressive and so dapper in their party clothes. Do Chickens Have Lips? is one you will enjoy for a "ridiculously long time.”
