This book was strange. I didn't feel there was much plot, the main character was just plain scary, and it felt like it had no idea how chickens actually act... Honestly, it felt like some sort of 'trying to shame someone into being vegan' kinda thing.

My kids didn’t even want to read this. The cover was just too dark for them. My kids are 9,7,5,4 and two. We couldn’t get past the first page. May be for other but not for us... ( )

A cute book that has a moral to the story. The illustration is top notched. I won’t recommend this book for kids under 8, the illustration are great but a little scary. The story line is good and easy to follow. ( )

I was drawn to this because of the cover. We have a little demon dude and some very disgruntled chickens. This little demon friend only has two limbs, and they appear to be sometimes legs and sometimes arms. Wait, they mention toes, so I guess they’re legs. We have some fun little hamster and bunny and butterfly friends by the text, so that’s fun. They’re just chillin’ out. He also talks to himself, kind of like Gollum in Lord of the Rings. It’s a bit creepy. Oh, wait, it seems that his heart has a separate voice. Still creepy.
Mixer Twizzle likes to steal and eat chicken eggs. The chickens are not pleased with this. (Although I have found that other than the actual stealing process from underneath a sitting chicken, they don’t really care what you do with their eggs.) As you can guess with a lonely egg-stealing monster who steals eggs, eventually one hatches. Now it is implied that he is sitting on the egg for a very brief time. If he’s been stealing all of the eggs for a while, then it would quite a while (21 days!) for that egg to hatch into a chick. So either a chicken had been sitting for 21 days already and he missed that egg previously, or his magic demon powers hatched out the egg at an advanced rate.
I like the illustrations, and the story is kind of cute, but I’m not a fan of the font chosen for the text. Because it’s Comic Sans, or some variety thereof. And sometimes it has an outline and shadow, so it looks like Comic Sans plus Word Art, and that’s just nope, even for a children’s book.

I received this book at no cost in exchange for an honest review. ( )

I would have read this to my four-year-old but I was honestly a little freaked out by this main character so I can only imagine how he would have reacted. The picture makes him look like the alien that pops out of people's chests in the movie, Alien, and his prose/cadence makes him sound like Smeagol from Lord of the Rings. The book is very long for a children's book, and the plot is a bit pointless. Not a fan. ( )
