About This Book

Reach for this book when your child feels small, unheard, or discouraged by a task that seems better suited for someone 'bigger.' It is a perfect choice for the youngest sibling or the smallest student in the room who needs to see that physical size does not dictate their ability to solve problems or help their family. The story follows a family of chickens trying to reach a garden of delicious treats, only to be blocked by a loud, barking dog. While the bigger chickens give up, the tiny Tippy-Toe Chick uses her wits to outsmart the obstacle. It is a gentle, humorous exploration of bravery and resourcefulness for the 2 to 5 year old set. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's desire for independence and cleverness through rhythmic, repetitive language that invites participation.

What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

A dog barks loudly at the chicks, which might startle very sensitive toddlers.

Sensitive Topics

The book features mild peril in the form of a barking dog, but the approach is entirely secular and metaphorical. The dog represents a loud, intimidating obstacle rather than a true predatory threat. The resolution is hopeful and empowering for the small protagonist.
