Inside the book
Chicken loves cheese and eats it faster than anyone. Then a man comes to the shop with a new cheese chip, and Chicken has something new to think about. It is a short, cheesy tale about a chicken, a chip, and a shop full of friends.
Children practice the ch digraph in one- and two-syllable words, with VC and CVC patterns, blends, digraphs, and kindergarten and first-grade sight words. The words repeat, the story is funny, and the cheese keeps children reading.
