BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Lami lives in a compound with several families and lots of chickens. She's the best at catching the chickens. But when she gets carried away with the chasing and does something dangerous, everyone has to tell her to slow down, and Lami must find another way to catch them.
Brooksbank's illustrations are so much fun - we loved looking for Lami grabbing or chasing a chicken on every page. I'm glad AJ didn't ask why Lami needs to be so good at catching chickens, I'd hate to explain that to a pre-schooler. The story takes place in West Africa, and includes a West African expression.
