This book is totally silly and got my kids giggling while it allowed my daughter to practice her sight words. She is struggling with reading, and I love that these two Chick and Brain books (the other being Egg or Eyeball) use repetition to reinforce words in a way that feels totally natural and not like someone is forcing you to Practice Reading Your Sight Words, Young Lady. Some funny practice with remembering manners as well, which is a bonus.

Hilarious. This is an easy reader with a story line that will keep adults and middle grade readers entertained as well. The Theodore Suess Geisel award is a treasure trove of books for younger and beginning readers who aren't always served directly by the awards that focus solely on either illustrations or text.

A cute graphic novel story of manners taught by a chick who realizes he doesn’t know it all when his friend Brain has to save his life.

This early graphic novel format chapter book is a silly story featuring the characters of Brain (character with super big feet, body, and a large brain for hair) and Chick (character that is... well, a chick). Chick is a super polite character who expects all the characters to be super polite as well, nagging them until they are all super frustrated. Brain, who readers will expect to be super smart, doesn't come off that way except Brain is the only character who can infer danger. Another good one to use for inferring!

I picked up this book to read with my bf (mostly because the title is an inside joke lol).
This was a really weird book (if the title is of any indication), but I really liked it! It's a fun and silly book about manners that I'm sure will garner some laughs.

It's important to be polite, but it's also important to look at the bigger picture! Fun graphic novel for grades 1 & up.

Chick is insufferable, trying to get Brain to say please, thank you, and other niceties.
I found this book tedious for that reason, and for Brain/Brian confusion.
However, I am not six. Were I, I probably would have found this funny.
