About book EllRay Jakes Is Not A Chicken (2011)

I just finished reading EllRay Jakes Is Not a Chicken by Sally Warner. I liked this book because it is interesting and not on just one topic the entire story.I think this book is interesting because I have been bullied before, but not as intense as poor EllRay. I think this book teaches lessons because it shows if you just be good you will get rewarded. I also like it because it is very well written because it really put a picture in my mind. As I was reading, I kept on reading the lines over and over again. I was surprised when the main bully was nice to EllRay after he hurt him pretty badly. I LOVED this book and I would rate it five stars! I really wanted to like this book. There are certain moments, especially among the family members, that were just wonderful. There were certain things that wrapped up too quickly for me.EllRay has a secret bully at school. He doesn't know why or how it started, only that now he must deal with horrible lunches and recesses. The writing is great for early chapter books and the illustrations are a good addition to the storyline. I did think it a little odd that the cover and inside illustrations were done by different people, so EllRay was drawn a bit differently between the two.
