Chicken Little Investigates (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras

Chicken Little Investigates: a science folktale by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I admit the original chicken little story, although entertaining, was never one of my favourites as a child but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this (never mind the kids). I liked how a well-known story was adapted to make learning more accessible to children by bringing science into the mix. As is expected, in typical Chicken Little style, the sky is falling! The great thing in this version is how they investigate what’s happening and why.

It’s short and sweet, perfect for kids to be able to follow without getting bored. If the story alone isn’t enough, the illustrations were bright and lovely too.

This is one I’ve recommended to my mum, a primary school teacher, and would recommend to parents too.
