My daughter loved "A Very Chilling Mystery" so much that she had me read it three times.
There are spine-chilling secrets hiding inside your refrigerator! When you close the refrigerator door, does light inside really go out? And if it doesn’t, what might actually be happening inside? Readers will discover the cold hard truth of what actually goes on within the walls of their seemingly dark and peaceful refrigerator.
A Very Chilling Mystery, written and illustrated by Steve Erickson, was a true delight to read. I'm not sure what my daughter loved more - the adorable antics of the refrigerator occupants or the drawings of the food, beverages, and condiments having a blast in the cold box.
There was so much to love, so much to see and read; we read it more than once. In fact, we read it three times. We would have probably read it more if we had a physical book and not an advanced copy, a file.
I thought the two potatoes leaning against the meatloaf while they watched t.v. was hilarious. Oh, and the drumstick arguing with the eggs about who came first made me snort. That argument has been around longer than I have been alive, but it's the funniest version of that debate to date.
My daughter loved the drumming beet, even though she had no idea what it was. She also liked the chillin' ice cube. She said it reminded her of a frozen SpongeBob SquarePants. Yeah, I can see what she means.
Amazon has the recommended reading age set to 4 - 6 years. I think families with even younger kids can find enjoyment in this story. You can use the images to teach the names of items such as carrots, mustard, bologna, and lettuce. Some should be familiar to them, but I think every kid might learn a new foodie name. For kids learning their colors, you could point to a product and ask them to name the color.
If your child is like mine, they'll run to the fridge to try and catch the food, beverages, and condiments in the act. My daughter was bummed no one was moving. I told her they must be all asleep. I have a feeling she'll be opening and closing the fridge doors a lot more in the next few days to catch them when they are wide awake.

I've been constructing reviews for over a decade and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Most of the reviews will be featured on my blog (Kam's Place), Pinterest, Instagram, Goodreads, and X (formerly Twitter.) Don't forget to tip your waitress! :D
