Gooney Bird is So Absurd Lois Lowry
A good chapter book for younger readers. I found the character of Gooney Bird funny, but a little unbelievably "adult" at times. The class is interesting and well-rounded and behaves how I imagine a second grade class would behave. Their wonderful teacher, Mrs. Pigeon, stays calm in the face of the noise and chaos of the class, while respecting their individuality. A nice read with a lovely ending. (children)
Big Chickens

akoskiThe chickens in this book are "big chickens" who run away to hide when the wolf comes calling...along the way, they find lots of things to be scared of until they realize they are BIG chickens and don't have to be scared! Great book for calming fears. (picture book)
