"Charlene the Star and Hatties Heroes is an encouraging and engaging story with an adorable set of animal characters that work together to face certain challenges. The story teaches young readers valuable lessons; about helping each other, working hard to achieve goals and also, about doing your individual best. The book is well written, with lovely illustrations and I just love the cute bonnet wearing chicken. I have no doubt that this book will become a firm favourite for any child!"~Hollie Anne Marsh"Deanie Humphrys-Dunne's children's early chapter book, Charlene the Star and Hattie's Heroes, is another joyful romp in the paddock type of story from the Charlene series. Like the other stories,this one provides young readers with lots of horse sense and excitement, as well as teaching them simple things about manners and respect. The animal characters are fun and enjoyable as they seek ways to help each other. The plot follows a plan to start a business that helps other animals overcome their fears and become the best they can be, while still sharing good manners and respect. This is a great story for horse and animal lovers." ~ Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers'Favorite (5 stars) "The reader will follow Charlene the Star as well as some of her animal friends as they find new careers. What happens next is amusing as well as incredibly entertaining and should not be missed by children!...If you are a reader who is tired of your children reading the same old books that are lackluster and forgettable then take a chance with Charlene the Star and Hattie's Heroes because I promise you now that they will not be disappointed. My rating for this beautiful book, of course, has to be five stars!" ~ by Aimee Ann"I thought Charlene the Star and Hattie's Heroes was a cute read. I read it with my kids and they enjoyed it. Five stars.~ reviewer 98309"There are new challenges in which Charlene and her friends work together to support, encourage and learn determination. Teamwork is clearly shown in the character's action as well as lessons in sportsmanship. The writing style is clear and flows well as the story unfolds. The characters are quite a mixed group, horses, a dog, a hen and a sheep, all with distinct personalities to appreciate. I loved the hat wearing hen. ~from review by PSusan"Charlene the Star and Hattie's Heroes is a beautifully written story of animal friends who have come together to encourage and help one another. Hattie loves her cute little bonnets and she prides herself on knowing what to do and when to do ~ from 5-star review by Linda Pennington Black"CHARLENE THE STAR AND HATTIE'S HEROES" is as funny as FINDING NEMO, as entertaining as CHARLOTTE'S WEB, and as exciting as CHICKEN LITTLE. ~from 5-star review by Geri Ahearn"What a wonderful book for children!

I loved the way the author wrote the book with the animals talking and helping each other overcome problems and reach their goals." ~ from 5-star review by Ann Ferri "Charlene the Star and Hattie's Heroes by Deanie Humphrys-Dunne is a delightful story where the animals take center stage.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A STORY ABOUT NEVER GIVING UP
    Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Yet another wonderful children’s story from Ms. Dunne about how dreams, hard work, and determination eventually wins the day.

    Children often feel they are the only ones facing challenges, things are always easier “for the other guy,” and they never are going to amount to anything. And of course, with children being children—which is to say, being capable of saying and doing cruel things (in the story, one horse kicks up mud in another’s face during a race)—situations involving competition can turn ugly fast. It’s easy for little ones to get discouraged under such circumstances, and here’s where they need all the encouragement they can get.

    Reading a book such as this (and others in Ms. Dunne’s series) is the perfect tonic for brightening a child’s day and restoring their spirits. Who doesn’t love horses? Or a chicken that wears funny hats? Who can stay sad in the face of hearing about how friends can help friends overcome obstacles.

    This and others of Ms. Dunne’s books inspired by her life riding and training horses are treasures to be shared with your children, books that can be read over and over again at bedtime, at the beach, in the park, or any time you’re looking for share something that will have a positive influence on your young one’s life.

    Deanie Humphrys-Dunne did it again.

    What a lovely story about Charlene the horse and her friends, Hattie, the adorable chicken, the dog Elliot, the sheep Woolium. They all work together and help each other to get there, where they like to be.

    Then a different horse comes into the scene. Lily, she is afraid even she can ran very well and would be first, but she does not like when other horses bump into her and throw mud into her face when racing.

    Charlene and her flock is helping her and telling her, to believe in herself and never to give up. She is working hard not to think at these obstacles and in the end she is the champion. Winning every race.

    Then another horse is coming into their stables. He is a strong horse but don't like to jump. They also help him until he becomes a racing horse.

    It's a great book for horse lovers, and it is not only a story, it has the hidden meaning of "Never to give up and believe in yourself."
    Well done Deanie. Loved to read it

    5.0 out of 5 stars Charming Story with Lessons of Good Character
    Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    Charlene the Star and Hatties Heroes is a story about animal friends who work together to help each other be their very best. Hattie, an adorable chicken who loves wearing pretty bonnets, has the great idea to form a coaching business to help race horses do well and achieve their goals. She and her friends, a dog named Elliot, and a sheep named Woolium, help two horses, Lily and Lucky, learn lessons about good sportsmanship and hard work.

    Charlene the Star and Hatties Heroes is a book that would appeal to young horse lovers and animals lovers. The added bonus is that it is a book that teaches good character. It's about helping others, working hard, setting goals, doing your best, and being a gracious winner or loser. All of these are valuable life lessons.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Charlene and friends teach children important lessons with their story.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2019

    Charlene the Star and Hattie's Heroes by Deanie Humphrys-Dunne is a delightful story where the animals take center stage. It is the first book I have read by this author but it read as if there had been another book in the series so perhaps it would be best for a child to start with that one.

    There are new challenges in which Charlene and her friends work together to support, encourage and learn determination. Teamwork is clearly shown in the character’s action as well as lessons in sportsmanship. The writing style is clear and flows well as the story unfolds. The characters are quite a mixed group, horses, a dog, a hen and a sheep, all with distinct personalities to appreciate. I loved the hat wearing hen.

    A younger child may enjoy this story but a beginning third grader should be able to read it on their own. For children transitioning into longer text such as short novels this is a good fit. Animal fantasy is high interest for this age so it is one that they would seek to read.

    I read this with a rising third grade child. He enjoyed the story, was able to read and discuss the text to me but wished for more pictures or drawings throughout the book.. After seeing the first one of Charlene and Mary, we both had thought that they would be more.

    4.5 Stars
    The publisher through Net Galley provided a digital ARC. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts.
