For Ages 3 to 7 Gladys the Magic Chicken, by Adam Rubin, Adam Rex (Illus.) (G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers, $18.99) “A perfect combination of silly and profound. Is Gladys magic, or do the humans who believe in her make their own magic? Follow Gladys’ roundabout journey through a slightly-less-than historical version of ancient times. No matter your age, you will believe—or just have a good time.” —Anmiryam Budner, Main Point Books, Wayne, PA
