Henny-Penny

My daughter was thrilled to get an autographed copy of one of her favorite books from her childhood. This book will be shared with HER child.

I wouldn’t have put ANY stars because this book was written from plagiarism! It is really the Story of Chicken Little!! I was very surprised and taken aback when I read it. I bought it for a baby shower and now I can’t take it! There isn’t time before the shower to choose a different book.

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! Henny-Penny

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

Book was not in great condishion, especially for the price. The cover had marker on it the pages were well used.

I picked up this book because I liked the images. It's very creative and rich visually. I love the language in this book. For moms and dads who like to like to get into the telling of the book - this one is fun to get into! Spoiler alert: all the animals get eaten (except for Henny Penny in this book) by Foxy Loxy. I was surprised by this because so many books today have been 'sanitized' for kids, but it didn't bother me. I love this book and plan to make this a gift for my friends with pre-school children.

Click on this title by accident? Serendipity! Keep reading. If you only buy one version of Henny-Penny, this is the one to have. If you have other versions of Henny-Penny, get this one and use the others for beach fires or scrap paper--THIS ONE IS THE DIVA! Fabulous photography is mentioned in other reviews and they speak truth. The photo art is superb, witty, charming..., but what I love is the language. Get out the voices and get ready to play! This book rocks! It begs to be read aloud, a perfect picture book for even very old children like me.

Having a good time with this book.
