The ridiculous trend of making board books out of classic picture books annoys me. Do you really need a board book of The Snowy Day for your baby? And while I know that this format would keep your 2 year old from ripping it, the board book format is still a baby book format. And in the library that means it gets shelved separately from the hardcovers.

So here's an adorable series--and I'd love to read this one especially at story time for the 2 and up set, and even more so for my 3 and up group. They would really like the bright pictures and chuckle at the joke--each time the other animals try to get the chickies to bed, they have some reason for staying up.

But it's in board book format. Authors, publishers, do you really find the baby market so much more vital than the preschool market? Do you really feel that this is just the book for a 6 month old?

I still may use it. But a LARGER, hardcover version would really give these books a wider audience!

This was a cute book! IT is funny at the end. I think it would be fun to read this book to my baby cousin. It is nice and cute. I was reading it in the car to my mom and she likes the book to. THANK YOU

LOVE this book for my daughter. I read it to her all the time. It's one of the very few books she lets me read all the words before flipping the page. She's 17 months old. It's a very cute book.

These are cute, repetitive little padded board books full of silliness. At first glance I was concerned but after actually reading them I'm relieved and entertained (as are my girls!) If you get all three (recommended!) start with Pottytime for Chickies.



thanks to HC.

This pair of board books introduces three small chicks who have problems falling asleep and using the potty correctly. Trasler uses humor and other animals to make these books great fun to read. Her artwork is particularly child-friendly and the Chickies themselves are naughty and silly, in the just the way small children would appreciate.

The chickies are never satiated. The chickies have need after need.

This book teaches children how demanding they can be, when all their parents want to do is go to sleep already. But in an adorable manner.

This is one of my 19-month-old's absolute favorites right now. Everyone in the house has it memorized, lol.

Nice rhyming. Realistic depiction (no seeds-to-dinner-that-night nonsense like some of these books).

My two year old has this memorized. He loves it and all the chickie books. We call him to dinner and bed and anywhere else by saying, "Bedtime for Chickies!"

Cute, funny little book about the trials and tribulations of bedtime with little ones. I like this, but Bathtime for Chickies is oodles better!

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

Repetitive rhyming works just right for this bedtime book. Sheep, pig, and cow are trying to get the chickies to bed, but they need one more thing before they can sleep - a drink, the potty, a story, etc.

This was just right for my 1.5 year old. She insisted on reading it over and over. I'm not wild about the illustrations, but I gotta say the cadence and rhyme of the text is catchy.

Rhyme time! This book is so apropos po for bedtime because you know your little nugget is not falling asleep anytime soon. Three month old Fé loves when Mommy or Daddy reads this book to her.

Lazy. Even half asleep, my son was bored with this one.

The sheep, pig and cow are trying to tuck the chickens in for the night but they just won't go to sleep. What can the animals do to help? Toddler and up

[Kitty · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute rhyme, I liked it, the toddler was a little bored. I also hope he didn't pick up on any stalling techniques!

[Abby Peskin · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a classic bedtime story of time for bed, but the chicks are awake and not tired. How will the other characters in the story help the chickies fall asleep?

[David Haggett · Rating 5 out of 5]

A perfect bedtime book for babies.

I love all the Chickies books :)

[Ashley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great for storytimes or babytimes. Fun, rhymes, and it's silly. Not many words. Repetitive, so makes for a great final story or a short one for short attention spans.

Sheep, Pig and Cow are ready to go to sleep, but the Chickies just aren't quite there yet.

This is a pretty funny and very relateable little story about bedtime. Anyone who has ever tried to put a toddler to bed will understand exactly the expressions on the faces of Sheep, Pig and Cow as they try to get those Chickies ready for bed. Short, sweet, funny and the illustrations are okay (apparently it's part of a series and based on puppets, so knowing that it makes a little more sense to me).
