How to Hatch a Writer is the PERFECT book to those elementary school readers learning about sentence structure! The illustrations were bright and fun while the storyline was consistently engaging while educating. This book was great to introduce some basic sentence structure to my 4 year old, but I don't believe he could truly grasp the concepts yet. I believe this would be perfect for teachers and parents of those in 1st or 2nd grade!

“How to Hatch a Writer” by Kari Ann Gonzalez is a must have for classroom teachers. This is the perfect story to introduce parts of speech and punctuation while making it plenty humorous. It’s also a great way to introduce how to make your writing better with more powerful adjectives. I highly recommend it for school libraries, classroom collections, and homeschool families.
Thank you to NetGallery and Gnome Road Publishing for an advanced copy of this ebook in exchange for my honest review.

My son who is just starting to read & learn about writing structure and patterns loved this. He especially loved the chicken outbursts being performed in a fun voice.

I initially expected 'How To Hatch A Writer' to be geared toward pre-emergent and emergent writers, like K or 1st grade students. While the illustrations are absolutely adorable and engaging, the content covers more advanced concepts like compound sentences, which typically aren't introduced until around 3rd grade in my state. As a primary teacher, I would read this book to my class and just skip the pages that are more advanced. It's a charming book overall, but not a perfect fit for early writers.

This writing book would be fun for k-2 teachers to show how to build writing up from a single word to multiple sentences. It has good vocabulary like the parts of speech and punctuation.

Thank you for the ARC. This book had very cute and bright illustrations which were eye catching. This book was a cute way to teach children about writing and grammar. What a creative way to engage children.

How to Hatch a writer is a book for children that teaches sentence structure, punctuation and grammar while also entertaining the readers with quirky characters. The information given was written in an age-appropriate learning level and it was very informative. Goldifox provided a fun and humorous backstory with her desire to eat the chickens while they were trying to teach her how to write.

This is such a fun and clever book for little learners! How to Hatch a Writer is aimed at kids ages 3 to 5 and introduces basic grammar concepts like letters, sentence structure, nouns, verbs, and adjectives—all through the hilarious idea of teaching chickens how to read and write.

The rhyming text is super catchy, and the chicken antics add a lot of charm. It’s a great way to help young children start thinking about how language works, all while having fun. A creative and educational read—perfect for storytime!

How to Hatch a Writer is exactly what I hoped it would be when I first read the title. This simple book explains the basics of sentence structure in a cute, memorable way. I will be using this in my first grade classroom to remind students what to check for in their own writing.
