\"\"<\/a>Woo Hoo! You’re Doing Great!<\/em><\/p>\n

by Sandra Boynton<\/p>\n

Little, Brown and Company, 2023. 36 pages.
\nReview written April 10, 2023, from a library book.
\nStarred Review<\/p>\n

I’ve loved Sandra Boynton’s work ever since I found her greeting cards in my college bookstore. Recently, she’s moved beyond board books to picture books — and as usual, all ages will enjoy her humor and distinctive style.<\/p>\n

I like the flap copy so much, I’m going to quote it here:<\/p>\n

We all get overwhelmed sometimes, small people and big people and fictitious animals alike. Probably ESPECIALLY fictitious animals — just imagine how difficult it must be for THEM to believe in themselves.<\/p>\n

So if you or someone you know or an imaginary friend of yours could really use a one-chicken cheerleading squad, this is the book for you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And that’s what this book is about — a one-chicken cheerleading squad, telling various animals they’re doing great.<\/p>\n

There’s a fun rhyme scheme, addressing the reader if they might be feeling low.<\/p>\n

Or are you feeling quite upended?
\nUnderprepared
\nand overextended?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If that is the case, you are in luck! Here’s an enthusiastic chicken all set to cheer you on and encourage you!<\/p>\n

But when the chicken makes a little blunder, fortunately someone comes along to encourage them.<\/p>\n

And that friend reminds us that we can also say these words to ourselves:<\/p>\n

WOO HOO! YOU’RE DOING GREAT!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(And you know what? You really are!)<\/p>\n
