Review :
the perfectly topsy-turvy text is accompanied by bright and dynamic illustrations that will keep readers engaged and turning pages as they hunt down the answer I love this one … An offbeat, left-field, unique little book This zany book does exactly what it says on the (pea) tin! Inquisitively and mischievously, it poses the question, what is a peachick? Using sound logic and clever wordplay, one little girl tries to get to the bottom of it. If peachicks exist then surely celery chicks, cake chicks, shoe chicks and more must exist too? The perfectly topsy turvy text is accompanied by bright and dynamic illustrations that will keep readers engaged and turning pages as they search for the answer. (Age 2–4) In this playful and whimsical picture book, young readers are invited on a hilarious adventure as a curious girl tries to figure out what exactly a peachick is. The author-illustrator team behind Standing on One Leg Is Hard delivers another clever, light-hearted tale that’s sure to entertain. The illustrations, bright and cartoonish, follow the girl's wild imagination as she explores different possibilities, from animals to foods, that might have "chicks" in their names. The vibrancy of the artwork is sure to engage young readers, with bold colours and expressive characters bringing the girl’s silly ideas to life. Each page bursts with energy, making it a visual treat that’s easy for little ones to follow. The text is filled with clever wordplay and humorous language, making the rhyming story flow smoothly … The book's simplicity, combined with its bright illustrations and witty language, make it an excellent choice for young readers … This is a delightful, easy-to-read book that invites children to laugh and explore the world of language and imagination With a fantastic use of rhythm and wordplay, McGann and McFarland reunite after the success of Standing on One Leg is Hard with another entertaining picturebook A delightfully silly and funny look at the world of the peachick, ideal for reading aloud. “I’ve heard of a chickpea. I’ve had those for lunch. Is a peachick the same? Do you have it for brunch?” This mostly rhyming picture book has bright, eye-catching illustrations that will appeal to younger children What is a peachick? The question but even more the various answers posited in this book will fascinate and entertain young children. Maybe, suggests the young narrator, who makes her appearance on the second spread, it’s a chick that grows in a pod, like a pea? Or perhaps it’s like a chickpea, which makes her wonder whether other vegetables could have chicks too – celery, carrots, runner beans? It’s a lovely example of taking an idea for a walk and exercising the imagination. Erika McGann’s text offers lots of opportunities for fun and playful moments, and Clive McFarland takes full advantage of these in his bright, characterful illustrations. I particularly like the running runner bean chick and the fierce dragon fruit chick. The story is also a great way to introduce children to new vocabulary a delightful story that explores a young child's curiosity about the word ‘peachick' … Filled with rhythm and rhyme, Erika McGann's lively text encourages creative thinking while Clive McFarland's bright and bold illustrations capture young readers' imaginations. This beautiful picture book is perfect for young readers aged three years and up, and is a great vehicle for expanding vocabulary an incredibly clever thought experiment that will have readers turning the pages again and again to see every one of Clive McFarland’s imaginative illustrations bright, eye-catching
