Chicken Little Investigates (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

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

Chicken Little and his friend Henny Penny are walking along when something falls on his head. At first they are convinced that the sky is falling so Chicken Little and Henny Penny decide to investigate. As they walk together, they run into their friends and each of them help Chicken Little investigate. As the friends make their way to the King to discuss their discovery and come up with a name they run into Foxy Woxy. Their discovery helps them to outwit Foxy Woxy and escape.

This is a unique twist on the Chicken Little story where the only thing that stays the same are the cute names. In this version children are introduced to the law of physics in a simple, easy-to-learn, and fun way. This story is fun, easy to read, and entertaining. It is beautifully illustrated, which really helps to bring the story to life as it pops off the pages. A fun read for children of all ages.
