My son is in the first grade and has great reading skills. He is at that in between level where chapter books are too hard yet for him to read independently, but the leveled readers are boring him. The Branches books created by scholastic are perfect for him (Kung Pow Chicken being just one series of many). These books maintain his interest and motivate him to want to read. I believe this is a great step into getting him into smaller chapter books; it is a perfect stepping stone. Also, it is hard to find books that interest boys. I also recommend the Boris and Monkey Me series, if you have young readers.
This is the first book series that my son immediately sat down with and started to read on his own. After reading one of these books at school, he begged me to get more. The fact that the groupings of words are spread out around the pictures helps it be more entertaining. My son noted that the main chicken is in 2nd grade just like he is, which helped him feel like he is reading on grade level (which he pretty much is, but it is hard to see other kids who are more advanced reading). I will be buying the 4th book and looking for other branch books.
Both my kids love this series! They dress up as the characters from the book and play Kung Pow Chicken. I read the first book to my younger son who isn't reading yet and thought it was great. Will read this one next but my 7 year old who read it on his own really loved it!
The Kung Pow Chicken books are highly entertaining for kids, especially boys. My son is in 2nd grade and is an average reader and this was perfect for him. It kept him engaged and wanting to read more. The only negative (if it is one) is that because it's more of a comic-style, it uses some slang and some made-up words.
It's a graphic novel, and a quick read for a strong reader like my son. As a teacher, I would say that if you are struggling to get your kid to read a book, this might get him or her interested. Any reading is good reading. The book is absolutely silly, but my nine year old was laughing out loud while reading this. He would not put it down. Lots of poultry references that I actually found pretty clever. He keeps asking for the next Kung Pow Chicken books.
My first-grade son can not get enough of these books. They are great for his reading level (2nd grade) and highly entertaining for him. It's a perfect mix of pictures and text. He's really hoping the author comes out with more than the 4 there already are.
Super entertaining read, both in content and graphics. Great to motivate a young reader. My son is 4.5 and a very early reader and these are perfect for him to read some of the content and me to fill in the gaps. I included pics for you to get an idea of the layouts of the book.
This second book in the series is just as good as the first. It's more good, clean, humor that is very accessible to the beginning reader.The book pays homage to Spiderman with a reporter who prints unflattering things about our second-grade superhero and his sidekick Egg Drop. When the town is talking trash about our hero, his younger brother reminds him, "A true hero helps out-- no matter what other chickens say about him."If you're still reading aloud, the book is enjoyable for adults too because the puns are great and made me laugh out loud.--Beth
