First sentence: Sabrina Sue lived on a farm. One night she saw the moon and the stars. I want to go to the moon, she thought. She thought about the moon in the daytime. She dreamed about the moon at night. She sang about it.

Premise/plot: Sabrina Sue is a fantastic chicken who stars in her own series of books for young readers. This book is part of a larger series. Sabrina Sue has always been a dreamer--a big dreamer though small in size, and obviously a chicken at that. In this one she dreams of going to the moon....

My thoughts: I've greatly enjoyed Sabrina Sue in the past. I didn't quite love this newest adventure. Some of her dreams seem lofty and difficult, but a chicken going to the moon is a bit too over-the-top for my overthinking brain! Sometimes I have to be in the right mood to enjoy. Definitely some books you have to suspend your disbelief to fully embrace and enjoy.

I do recommend the series.

Why is the moon yellow? I get that kids books should have bright colors, but why can't we be accurate about the moon being gray? Besides that, this book was ok.

5 year old review: I love that she was going on the moon with the frog and all the farm animals thought she wouldn't go there. They wanted her to stay safe. I loved that she went to the moon.

I sat and listened to this story very well every time we read it. If I got to pick which book to read first on the nights this was an option I picked this one first each time. Sad to take it back to the library but excited to read more Sabrina Sue stories!
