I read this to my 4 year old nephew and his almost seven year old sister. Both enjoyed it but yesterday the four year old begged me to read it to him again. Great illustrations, too!
My 5 year old loved this book! He found it funny, loved the character and cheered for it, he learned not to give up on something he loved just because it’s difficult.
My grandson reads to me for his school homework and this was a fun book. I liked the story. I liked that the chicken wasn’t as happy as they thought they would be but tried more anyway. I enjoyed it and would recommend it for kids who don’t want to read.
My 5 year old loved this book
Great kid book
Great read for young children.
I enjoyed reading this to my grandchildren. Give it a try!
A decent children’s book with the theme of being able to do hard things. My 3-year-old granddaughter liked it.
In Chicken Wants to Roller Skate, the main point of the story is to not give up on learning a skill just because it’s difficult, or because you don’t succeed the first time you try. This story is successful at getting that point across – however, it does involve a chicken trying to escape a cat who wants to kill and eat it, so it might be a little disturbing to young children, or bring up some questions, the answer to which might be disturbing.
The illustrations are colorful, and will attract a child’s attention, but are not really beautiful or memorable in the way illustrations from my favorite books remembered from my childhood were.
This beginning reader has a lot going for it. The protagonist is a chicken who wants to do more than an average chicken. She decides that roller skating looks like fun. Chicken lays out the steps necessary to roller skate and proceeds to try. After falling down and feeling bruised, chicken gives up just as many children might do. When Cat begins to chase her, Chicken decides to try once more. Sometimes one must take a risk in order to succeed.
Toennisson’s illustrations are humorous and cartoon-like, perfect for young readers. Takoda uses onomatopoeia effectively. Children will love reading the book aloud and imitating the sounds as they learn the vocabulary words. Recommended for all beginning readers, but I think readers in the five to seven year age ranger will enjoy it most. Look forward to reading more of this series.

This is a cute book to read to your newborn to 3 year old, and great first reader. The chicken never gives up on his hopes and dreams
My 7 year old read this book by herself and I heard her giggling throughout the book.
