Book Review: Dave Loves Chickens by Carlos Patiño Review by 11-year-old Justice Beske, special to Vegan Street I think that Dave Loves Chickens, written and illustrated by Carlos Pantiño, is a good book. It has a great message and a lot of cool facts about chickens. Dave, the monster who won’t eat meat, is an interesting and memorable character, and I like the colorful and interesting illustration style. I think it will be a good way to introduce a lot of kids to the concept of veganism and it is just the first in a series of books for young children to teach them about animal rights in a fun way. Mother’s review (Marla Rose): Dave Loves Chickens is a lushly illustrated and cheerful book for budding young animal lovers, one that finds a way to offer interesting facts about chickens (such as that they are descended from the T-Rex) in a story about a compassionate monster who loves other animals so much that he won’t eat them. Dave, the “main monster,” will be a character that young children will relate to, with so many feeling a deep kinship to animals. I feel that Dave Loves Chickens is an empowering and inspiring story for young children, and I recommend it. © 2013, 2014, Vegan Street
