Everyone Gets a Turn

I adored this little children's story.

I read it with my daughter who's just learning to read and she 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.

Absolutely adorable. I read this with my little niece and she loved it. The illustration was beautiful and the story was well put together. We really enjoyed the lesson of taking turns and friendship.

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.

the art in this was absolutely adorable, with a message that we all can learn things from one another!

thank you to Marianne Dubuc and the team for providing this

This sweet book is about animal friends finding an egg and taking turns caring for the egg and the chick. I loved the story and the illustrations, and the message that it takes a village!

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!

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.

This is the cutest book. It has a bunch of little stories with the same characters! The illustrations are so cute!

"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.

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

I'm a pre k assistant and our class would love this book. As well as learn about sharing. The author and the illustrations are awesome. Will diffently look for more books from this author

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.

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 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.

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

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?!

Cute story about four animals who find an egg in the woods. Each cares for the egg for a short period of time, allowing the reader a peek into different households. While everyone has the egg's best interest at heart, each animal has a different way to show care. Children will learn from this story that not every home is the same and it doesn't have to be, in order to find love and care.

The forest animals learn to share by taking turns caring for someone smaller and more dependent than they are. A well-done lesson for all of us in the form of multiple frame illustrations.
The illustrations by the author are fun, interesting, meaningful, colorful, and delightful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Chronicle Books/Princeton Architectural Press via NetGalley. Thank you!

Adorable illustrations and a sweet story about growth towards independence. Bear, Hare, Mouse and Turtle provide lovely lessons for Clara, and then learn something from her. I like easy books in simple comic book format. They offer kids some direction in following the story across the page.

Everyone Gets a Turn is a cute graphic novel about different animals taking turns taking care of an egg that they found while playing outside. By the second house, the egg hatches and the friends take care of the little chick. This is a cute intro into graphic novels for young readers!

Everyone Gets A Turn is about friends that are able to share. The animals take turns taking care of an egg as it hatches and grows into a chick. It shows young readers the importance of teamwork as well as the energy it take to take care of young children like themselves. Very sweet book with cute art illustrations.

Everyone Gets a Turn is an adorable book about a group of friends who find an egg and decide to share it. It's a great tool to help kids understand the importance of sharing.

This was such an enjoyable story with cute illustrations and structured scenes. I loved how it talked about self-growth and friendship. This is a must for young readers!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with access to read this book!

I received an electronic ARC from Chronicle Books through NetGalley.
Dubuc brings her characters to life with fun, joy and compassion. Readers meet four friends who honor playing their own ways. They find an egg and decide to bring it back with them. Their support and friendship comes through with their decision to take turns keeping the egg rather than fighting over it. A lesson to discuss with readers as the story unfolds. Then, the egg hatches and a fifth friend is added to the group. Little Bird has strong opinions and soon establishes their own home and way of being part of the group. I appreciate the emphasis on being who you choose to be even if others have been part of your caretaking. The artwork captures the friends and their surroundings so readers feel they are living in the forest too. A fun read for elementary level readers.

Cute book with adorable illustrations! My two year old enjoyed seeing all of the animals and he learned about chicks hatching!

Everyone Gets a Turn is a cute story about friends learning how to share. When a group of friends come across an egg, they all want to take it home and care for it, resulting in them taking turns. Learning to share is a huge part in growing up and should be expressed early on in life. The illustrations are adorable and easy to follow.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.


Rating: 5 stars

This was an adorable book that teaches children about the importance of sharing and being polite. I thought the illustrations were super adorable. If I had children, I would read them this book.

Thank you!

My kids loved this one! The illustrations and storyline are absolutely wonderful! I feel like this one will be a frequent request at bedtime.

This book was super cute!

My daughter and I loved it and we loved the illustrations too! This was a cozy little book about sharing, taking turns, and helping others with with their needs. This book brought about a good conversation and good lesson and those tend to be my favorite kind of kids books.

Would absolutely recommend for your littles!

Thank you Chronicle Books, Princeton Architectural Press for an ARC. :)

I love the delicate illustrations in this children’s title. They made me want to both look carefully and turn the pages. The story itself is very sweet and also funny.

What happens when friends find an egg? It will mean changes for both them and that egg. Read this with a child as you both wait to see what happens next. It is so cute!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for this title. All opinions are my own.

This was special and surprising with a true story arc. The illustrations were precious with real heart and detail. I enjoyed the comic like style of the story. It was unique and the conversations were endearing. Each animal brought their own personality and lessons to the story. I especially enjoyed the ending with its quirky and charming twist. It’s a story about friendship, growing, sharing and self-worth. It is certainly one I would buy for my children and to give to friends and family.

Thank you NetGalley and PA Press for my digital copy.

Though not particularly groundbreaking, this book is really cute. I think adults would likely get more out of it than children would. Though it's structured as a sort-of graphic novel, preschool and kindergarten readers would likely be most engaged in the plot line.

I love this little book! So much is packed into the lovely illustrated pages, including strong friendship, animal habitats, nurturing, taking care of each other, diversity, and it taking a village to raise a child. This book can be a springboard for discussion and further activities. Recommended!

This was such a sweet story.

I loved how this group of friends not only found "little egg" but they made sure to each take turns in taking care of her without fighting. Each animal friend had a role in the "growth" and learning process of little Egg. Each animal friend took their time with little egg and took her to the next house, with a brief explanation of what they just did.

I enjoyed this book with my toddler, all the way to the end.

I volunteered to read a copy of this ARC through NetGalley.
