Bibliographic Citation: Sendak, Maurice. Chicken Soup with Rice: A Book of Months. HarperCollins, 1991. 32 pages. ISBN: 978-0064432535.
Format: Paperback
Age Group: Ages 2-4 Years
Annotation: A little boy talks about the reasons it is good to have chicken soup and rice
during each month.
Reflection: The story consists of twelve different poems for each month. Lots of rhyming and repetition is used and at the bottom of each poem, the last line always ends with “chicken soup and rice.” The story itself teaches children about what the weather is like during each month, giving them real world experience through this book. The poem format promotes learning and memorization of the months. The illustrations stand out in the book because they are done in Sendak’s classic and very particular style.
