Nice message of staying true to one self - even when the people around you might not understand you. Enjoyed the background story of how staying true to one self may inspire others when you don't even know it.
Definitely cheerful, featuring a cheering chick. Illustrations by Brian Won and delightful rhyming text. What's not to love? Shake those pompoms!
A little long but small group liked it
Joyful and fun and reads aloud wonderfully. Highly recommended for ages 4-6 (my son loved it!).
The book has adorable illustrations and a good message about marching to the beat of your own drum. I guess what I found puzzling was why everyone was so mean to the cheerful chick at first. On the last page you learn the adults had all be busy "working," and were now free to enjoy the chick and her friend's cheers, but that didn't explain why they were so rude to the poor little hatchling pages before. I guess I shouldn't expect crystal-clear logic in a kid's picture book.
This upbeat cheery book would be a terrific read aloud to share with young readers. With brightly colored illustrations and fun rhyming text, this book tells about a young chick that is tired of the boring dreary mood in the barn and is determined to build a cheering squad that will make things a little more exciting. I love how the little chick doesn't let the others get her down, but does her best to see the bright side of life.
Although I've always been accused of being something of a cheerleader myself, tending to look on the bright side of life rather than the dismal side, I wasn't particularly enamored by this picture book. Maybe the slings and arrows of life and disappointments over the decades have hammered away at my cheerful nature and lessened my enjoyment of this book or maybe the fact that Chick keeps trying to get everyone in the barnyard to join her squad when it's clear from the illustrations that she alre...
Some individuals from the moment of their first breath are destined to be different. They have sunshine in their souls, desiring to shout it out. Happiness is not a momentary mood for them but a way of life.In their efforts to encourage others to choose an optimistic outlook, they do everything in their power to be their personal best.

I chose this at Book Fair yesterday as an extra book to read to my daughter. I really liked the cover and thought it might be a fun book. My daughter liked the story and the little cheers that the chick yelled throughout. It's definitely a "cheer mom" kind of book. Lol. Cute, upbeat, but probably a book liked more by parents than kids, unless the kids are already really into cheering.
I received this library book as part of my Scholastic Book Crate subscription and after reading it, I didn't love it. If you have a student who loves cheerleading they will probably love it but the story fell a little flat for me. The illustrations are super cute but other than that, it was just ok.
This book is cute and fun, despite a few bumps in the meter. The ending wasn’t as satisfying as it could have been, however. I don’t buy the idea that the adults joined in the fun because their “work” was done. Seems like the rhyme was driving the story at that point because it was clear throughout the book that the adults simply didn’t want to be bothered.
Chick was born to cheer, but not everyone thinks as she does. In this rhyming story, Chick goes out of her way to get the other animals to join her cheer team, but she is met with negativity at every turn.
Lovely lovely book :)
This is delightful! Lots of enthusiasm, self confidence (ultimately), and barnyard sounds.
Chick is all about cheering, cheering, cheering.
Love the feminist/girl power layer of this story!
Chick popped out of her egg peeping, feeling happy and wanting to encourage others to find joy. With pompoms in hand she practices her moves until they feel just right and then she sets off across the farm to inspire the rest of the animals to show off their acrobatic skills. Sadly, everyone brushes her off, either because they are too busy, too grumpy or just not in the mood. Will Chick ever find the enthusiastic squad she dreams of? This is a cute rhyming story about those upbeat characters wh...
Adorable! I don't always like children's books that have a rhyme sequence but this was very well done and added to the story. The illustrations and colorful and sweet- the little chicks are my favorite. :)
Illustrations are great, nice message about being yourself and finding your tribe
Brian Won's illustrations were what kept me turning pages.
