I was pretty excited to add another learning source into teaching my 3 year old how to take turns. What better way than a story? He enjoyed it and now says is it my turn?!

Thank you to Netgalley and Chronicle Books for the opportunity to read and review this picture book for my students. This is definitely a story I would be adding for my students to read. It is simple to understand, there are multiple conflicts, and characters to keep up with, and the story makes sense with a straightforward timeline and lesson at the end. Overall, would highly recommend! 5 out of 5 stars

This book, Everyone Gets A Turn, follows four animal friends - a bear, a hare, a turtle, and a mouse, as each one cares for an egg that they found in the woods. Each character gives extra attention and compassion to the little egg as it progresses from egg to the birth of the chick and until it is able to care for itself.
The story was an excellent example of parental love and care.
Written in a graphic format made it fun and refreshing. The illustrations were adorable and friendly. The prose flowed and would be very understandable for a young child to read themselves or for a selection for story time.
I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet and engaging tale.
Thank you for the opportunity to read and review it.

had so much fun reading this book, the story is so adorable and the illustrations were so well done and charming, there’s so many little details in every page that I couldn’t stop but be mesmerized by it all. I will definitely be recommending it! Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this early copy

This was cute, but for some reason the story didn't flow very smoothly for me. I did really enjoy the message that growth and sharing looks different fur each of us because we all have different strengths and passions.

This is a very sweet book. I really liked how it showed the reader the different things each of the animals had to offer the little egg/bird and they were all beautiful. I’d definitely recommend for a parent of elementary aged children or a classroom setting.

"Everyone Gets a Turn" is a sweet, heartwarming picture book that I would recommend to children between the ages of 7-10. It's a book about a group of animal friends that find an egg (eventually baby chick) that they learn to take care of through sharing. This teaches young ones about not only sharing and taking turns, but also about taking care of others, and even about differences in people. Each animal friend has different interests and likes different foods.

What I especially liked in this book was its comic book/graphic novel-style illustrations with dialogue in word bubbles. It makes this feel more mature than a regular picture book.

This book had depth to it. The illustrations are cute and whimsical. 4 friends are together in the woods and find an egg. They decide to each take a turn having the egg at their home and taking care of their guest. The story points out some of the differences between the friends, yet they get along well and enjoy each other’s company. All of the friends are sweet, kind and memorable. I was given a copy from the publisher and NetGalley. My review expresses my own unbiased opinions. This would make a nice bedtime story, perhaps 2 or 3 nights worth. Relaxing and soothing, the story flows nicely.

So sweet, a beautiful story with cozy vibes and friendship to celebrate individuality and acceptance. We are all different and unique and we can all live in harmony with each other offering help and our strengths. A great sense of community.
I love that the story is illustrated in short episodes in comic book format. The illustrations are clean, clear, and beautiful. I wanted to be the turtle and live in that house.
Thank you, publisher and net galley for this e-ARC.

What a delight to discover Marianne Dubuc’s charming picture book about four animal friends who take turns caring for an egg which soon turns into an independent little yellow bird. Each of the animal friends shares their talents with the bird and, in turn, the bird gets them to consider what names they’d choose for themselves. The author and illustrator is from Quebec, Canada and has written and illustrated several picture books with some in English and some in French. I plan to look for her other picture books as I enjoyed this one so much.

This story was cute! I really think it’s so hard for kids to learn how to take turns and why they have to, so I think this is a great book to have out!

I adored this little children's story.

I read it with my nephew who's just learning to read and he said;
"I liked how the mouse found the egg! I liked how the egg visits all the houses and how the egg hatched at bears house. The drawings are nice too."

I loved the illustrations! So nicely drawn and colored.

I received an early released copy of this book and I'm leaving my review of my own free will.

Very sweetly-illustrated story! I loved the art throughout the book and how expressive each character was. The story was nice but unsurprising, and did not give much insight into the characters waiting for their turns.

thank you to Marianne Dubuc and the team for providing this
