Book Review<\/strong>
A Runtamuffin Tale <\/strong>
by Melissa Taylor & Illustrated by Marc Beauregard<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A\nRuntamuffin Tale is a beautifully written story that takes place on a\nfarm. The pictures in this story are amazing. They truly tell a story\non their own. This book is perfect for all ages, and all reading\nlevels. Even a child that cannot read, will enjoy the story told\nthrough the pictures. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\njoin the story as the farm girls are bringing home some new chicks.\nWe are soon introduced to Runtamuffin who is a brown and white\nchicken with red heart feathers on her chest. We also meet Nessie,\nPhatty, Patty, Sally, Scrambled, and Benedict. While this story\ncenters on the farm and everyday living, I quickly found myself\nfalling in love with Runtamuffin. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Runtamuffin\nis a small but outspoken chicken. She loves the farm girls, the other\nhens, and the farm animals in the story. At one point, we see her\nfearlessly march up to a horse stall and demand to know who lives\nthere. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nis a story of love, courage, and being yourself. It is also a story\nabout change (when new animals are introduced to the farm), trust\n(Runtamuffin and the hens learn to trust the farm dog), and family. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While\nRuntamuffin\nis fun to say, it is even funnier to hear a child pronounce it. This\nbook is a favorite of my five-year-old. This book is a bit longer\nthan most children\u2019s books but has enough action in it that it\nkeeps my very active rambunctious child hooked the entire story. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One\nof my favorite things about this book is how true to life it is. As a\nchild, my family raised chickens. The things talked about in this\nbook are\nreal life things. You have to build a coop to keep out predators.\nLetting chickens free range can be dangerous, and the book shed light\non this by using the farm dog, Bodo. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book will make you fall in love, no matter your age. Runtamuffin is a chicken that will continue to steal hearts for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
