When the chicken chooses to help paint the barn and causes chaos by turning everything blue, she problem sovles to fix her mistake. I love that every animla pitched in and helped her to fix it and then eventually helped paint the barn the correct color, but not before they were all red and needed rewashing. What a fun story! ( ) An almost-perfectly realized barnyard painting sits waiting for its final touches, when one of the chickens depicted therein breaks free and decides to help, upsetting the pot of blue paint in the process, and coloring everything the wrong shade. Can she set things right, when all of the other creatures come complaining...? A meta-fictional barnyard tale, Blue Chicken is a book I found more appealing from a visual perspective, than from a textual one. In fact, I think it would work quite well as a wordless picture-book, so clearly do the paintings communicate the story of the chicken and her accidental experiment with the color blue. That said, this was still an engaging title, one I would recommend to young would-be artists, as well as to those looking for picture-books of a meta-fictional nature. This is a unique story about an illustrator or artist creating a farm picture. One of the chickens wanders off the picture and spills blue paint onto the picture and everything starts turning blue. Little chicks splash blue onto a cat and it runs everywhere. So, to get rid of the blue, the animals have to knock a jar of water onto the picture to wash away the blue. Then, the artist can continue the work and paint the barn. Blue Chicken is an interesting book. The story begins with what looks like a picture someone is painting. Then the chicken comes off the page to help. The chicken spills the blue paint and now the chicken, ducks, cow and everything has been splattered blue. The chicken cleans up the blue with water, but leaves the sky in the picture blue. The story ends as it begins with a perfect day to paint the barn. However, now instead of painting the barn drawn down on the page someone is outside painting a real barn. The story had a very interesting concept that I am curious to know how young children would react to it.
The illustrations are the central part of this story of a chicken that spills a pot of blue paint. The chicken gets paint on the other barn animals and herself. At first glance, this seems to be a simple picture book, but it has a depth that makes it more useful and educational. Themes of making mistakes and apologizing are presented along with themes of reality versus artistry and imagination. This book can be used in different ways for children of various ages. The chicken expresses her sorrow at the mistake and tries to fix it. Older children will relate to making a mistake and needing to fix it. Younger children will not relate to being able to fix a problem themselves, like the chicken does. Words used in the story, like peevish and sincerely, are difficult for young readers, but offer an opportunity to expand the vocabulary of older kids. Younger readers can benefit from identifying the colors and farm animals. The perspectives in the artwork might be confusing for younger audiences. Older children can discuss how the painting relates to the other perspective of the book. This book would be appropriate for a preschool or day care library and grade school libraries.
