Henny-Penny

Having a good time with this book.

This is the most creative and humorous version of Chicken Little I've ever read. So clever, the vocabulary is cheeky, the pictures are fine to look at since they are real animals. My kids enjoy the references to the King. A great addition to my library.

I am long since grown-up. I have grandchildren, and a brother-in- law in Georgia. A few weeks ago he went out into the woods on his property to cut some wood for the fireplace in his home. A strong wind came up and broke a rather large limb off one of the trees. After a while, he arrived back home with a large wound (bleeding a lot) on his head and feeling just a bit wobbly at the knees. I could think of nothing but that famous quote, "The sky is falling!" So I immediately went to Amazon.com and found a copy of "Henny-Penny" and had it sent to him. He had the good grace to see the humor and says his grandson really enjoys hearing this classic!

I really enjoyed the beautiful photos and illustrations that complimented this hip updated classic tale. This is Henny-Penny as I had never seen before.
