Deb's Book Nook: Chicken Hare by Chris Grine

Chicken Hare is a hilarious little graphic novel that chronicles the adventures of a part rabbit part chicken ( funny on it's own ), and his buddy a bearded turtle. Now, one might think this is for kids but books are meant to be enjoyed by everyone regardless of age. I really liked this story and at times it had me laughing out loud.

I find that often times people become regimented or judgmental of others by their choices in books, movies, music, clothes... Reading should be a joyful experience and who is to say what someone's joy consists of. If your'e an adult and enjoy reading young adult fiction play on, if you feel you only want to read classics or cheesy romance novels by all means do so. There are no barriers on one's choices in reading material. I felt the need to say this because I've heard of others who like a certain genre of books but won't read them in public or around family or friends for fear of judgement or embarrassment. No one has the right to judge anyone for their choices in books. It's also great to stretch your reading genre past what your used to you might be surprised what you find, I know I am!

Back to Chicken Hare, and his pal turtle are captured by an evil taxidermist and must find a way to escape while helping two other captured animals before they're turned into stuffed animals. Their adventures are fast paced and so chuckle worthy and will leave you wanting to continue to hang out with Chicken Hare and his buddies for more adventures.

If you want a quick stress reducing read that brings a smile to your face, one that both you and your kids can enjoy grab one or all three graphic novels of the adventures of Chicken Hare, you won't be sorry! I give this book 4 out of 5 stars because I wish it were longer!

The artwork is beautiful in its simplistic manner and the story is great. The book follows Chickenhare and his friend Abe as they try to escape from the taxedermist.
