Chicks and Salsa
Written by Aaron Reynolds

This book is about animals who are tired of eating the same food every day. One day, the rooster looks through the window and sees the farmer’s wife watching a cooking show. Instead of their usual food, the animals work together to make Mexican food.

Second-grade cub reporters in Ms. Blackadar’s classroom think the book is very funny because the animals do strange and silly things. It made us laugh when the animals yell “olé” while making the food. The animals act funny, which makes the story entertaining to read.

Cub reporters recommend this book to their friends and family because it’s fun to read. They also think people of different nationalities might enjoy this book because it shows part of Mexican culture.

Cub reporters said that readers of all ages will enjoy this book.
