Greg Pattridge hosts Marvelous Middle Grade Monday posts on his wonderful Always in the Middle website. Cece Bell learned to read with Dick and Jane, and now she hopes children will learn to read with Chick and Brain. She is also the creator of the Sock Monkey picture books and Chuck and Woodchuck. Verdict : Egg or Eyeball? is a rollicking summer read!Ĭece Bell is the author-illustrator of the Geisel Honor Books Chick and Brain: Smell My Foot! and Rabbit and Robot: The Sleepover, as well as the Newbery Honor Book El Deafo. The book is an early chapter book and will help them transition to more challenging books. Kids will enjoy the hilarious cartoon-like appearance and easily make out the repetitive words and sentences in each bubble - a great way to help children sound out and remember new words. There are four chapters in this graphic story. The entertaining banter and rising tension will keep kids giggling until the surprise ending.

Brain is once again in a tug-a-war with Chick and Spot, over an eyeball he found. Silly…Silly…Silly! Just what children will adore most about this book. Perfectly pitched to kids just learning to read and loaded with verbal and visual comedy, this offbeat graphic story by a master of the genre builds to an exhilaratingly absurd surprise ending. Is it an egg or an eyeball? The inimitable Cece Bell is back with a second hilarious primer on good manners gone awry and arguments run amok. Writer and illustrator Cece Bell has been creating childrens books for over a decade, but in her latest, she finally turns to her own story about growing up hearing-impaired, after meningitis.
