This is such a cute story for our little scientist. I read this book to my niece and she absolutely loved it and she also learned something new. This book makes science fun and you learn about gravity. My niece also loved the pictures as well. They went perfectly with the story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A lovely story aimed at children explaining how gravity works through fun little experiments the animals do. I loved the story and illustrations.
Lois Wickstrom has created a fun fractured tale based on Chicken Little. In this tale, Chicken little isn’t so naïve, and decides to investigate about “the sky falling”. Chicken Little tests her theory that it was really an acorn that fell and bumped her head. When she and her friends have come to a conclusion that something DID fall and hit her head, they cannot decided what to call this “thing” they discovered. They quickly decide the king is the best person to ask for help! On their trip, others try to help them and then join their efforts to name the discovery. Soon a whole crowd joins Little Chicken on her trip to see the king. But a hungry cunning fox might just stop the friends from visiting the king for help. How will they escape? Will the king help name their discovery? What do you think Chicken Little should call it when something drops from the sky? To find out what the King calls object dropping, read Chicken Little Investigates!

Chicken Little with a twist! Chicken Little and the whole gang is here to go on a new adventure. They have discovered something new. I love that Lois Wickstrom can take classics and put a spin on them. Lois Wickstrom is an author that I will continue coming back to.

Lois has done it again. She’s taken one of the children’s stories we’ve heard again and again and made it make sense with her awesome sense of humor. It’s adorable with the way it’s written, and I absolutely love the font changes and the creative text placement throughout the book!! It really stood out to me, and I haven’t seen it done the way this was in a good while. Bravo 👏

Big fan here of this author, Lois Wickstrom. Chicken Little Investigates is a cute little short read for you and the little ones. I love all the rhyming name she used.😆 Henny Penny and Turkey Lurkey are my favorites. And it is just as educational as ever.

My kiddos and I always love Lois Wickstrom’s books, but this one was special for the little ones. They enjoy the original Chicken Little, so this new spin on it reeled them in. Instead of just panicking and making wild assumptions, they begin to investigate to see the cause of what is happening. It is a cute story but also teaches a great lesson about not jumping to conclusions. We really love the science side of this story, and the illustrations are wonderfully done! I recommend this one if you have some littles of your own. It really encourages them to look at things from a different (and fun) scientific perspective!

As a parent, I love reading Lois Wickstrom books! I was excited to introduce Chicken Little Investigates to my children. My kids have been watching the movie Chicken Little and I was looking forward to seeing this author’s spin. I liked how words like “falling” or “fell” were printed in a downward motion and some important words in bold. My daughter was able to pick up on cues and help read the book with me which is always a great feeling. When I asked her if she liked the book she said “I didn’t really think it was good, I thought it was the goodest!” So I would say Chicken Little Investigates is another hit by Lois Wickstrom!

Chicken Little Investigates (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom. I have read several books by this author because I have a 5 and 9 year old nephew. They have loved every one I have bought them. This is the story of Chicken little and her friend Henny Penny. Chicken Little thinks the sky is falling because a acorn fell and hit her on the head. Thinking she needs to tell the King, she and Henny Penny set off to tell him. On the way they do experiments to try and find another reason for the thing to hit her on the head. Along the way they meet other friends and discover what gravity is along with the funny name they call it. This is the perfect book for gifts because they are not only precious they are teaching a lesson. Loved it so much!

Chicken Little Investigates
By: Lois Wickstrom
This is such a great version of the story of Chicken Little. We all know the story of Chicken Little where he thinks the sky is falling and panics. However, in this version Chicken Little gets hit in the head and uses his brains and his knowledge of science. When Chicken Little gets hit in the head he does several experiments and the scientific process to discover what it is that hit him in the head. I truly loved this retelling of the story and know that it would be a great addition to any child’s book collection or classroom library!

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.

What a cute reimagining of a brilliant classic tale. This has the same characters as the original but with some clever twists. There’s humour, fun and some learning to be found amongst the pages. I can see this quickly becoming a favourite and would be a great addition to any home or school library.

Chicken little and friends make a discovery of gravity and are very interested by the different sounds things make when they hit the ground. The friends have no idea what to call the discovery so they venture to the palace to ask the king. Along the way they run into an obstacle. But nothing is too much for this group.
I really enjoyed the adventure of this book!

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.

In this cute story, young scientists can follow Chicken Little as she investigates what is falling from the sky while solving other problems along the way. This engaging story encourages readers to test theories and explore their world to learn from it. What a great way to incorporate many aspects of learning into one short story. The colorful illustrations bring the characters to life and help younger readers follow along. Such a fun read!

This is a cute little book with chicken little leading the way to discovery. The at illustrations match the story getting told. Along the way, curiosity is piqued as the characters try to understand and name gravity. There’s even a hiccup along the way that almost thwarts the plan to get to the king!

I read Chicken Little Investigates to my 7 year old. We both enjoyed the book. He laughed at the names and said they were silly. He guessed the king’s final answer. The pictures are colorful and unique style- almost like a sketch colored with water colors. I liked that the sounds had a different font, to stand out. It was a cute book overall. I always enjoy this author. When asked if he thought his friends would like the book, he said maybe and they would probably laugh and the characters names.

Chicken Little Investigates is a cute children’s story by Lois Wickstrom and illustrated by Francie Mion. My daughter thought this book was funny and she learned something too. She is 2.5 and she asked a lot of questions and it opened up talk of gravity and the different sounds that things make when they fall. She also loved the pictures and the part with the Fox (her words!) Overall it was a cute, short read. I liked that it was something familiar with something new. It was engaging enough that my daughter paid attention!

The sky is falling! When an acorn falls on Chicken Little’s head, she decides to investigate. On the road to see the king, more of her friends turn up and join her. When the sly Foxy Woxy tries to pull the wool over their eyes, she manages to save herself and her friends.
This is a wonderful introduction to physics in the most simplest terms for children to understand. Filled with colourful pictures and friends with cute and silly names, this book is sure to keep the little ones entertained.

This is a cute story of Chicken Little and the sky falling. The story takes on a science-sleuthy feel as Chicken Little and Henny Penny investigate the sky falling. I also liked the fonts used for the different sounds made, as well as the rhyming names of the characters. A great book for beginning readers!

I have read a lot of this authors children’s books and this one was another great one. I like how the author takes science and makes it fun for kids. The story is able to bring the subject to life. The characters are very interesting and keep the attention of the reader. I just wish that my children were still young enough for these books. I really highly recommend this author’s works for kids. The writer has a very unique style and I would definitely get these for my children.

I really enjoyed Chicken Little Investigates by Lois Wickstrom. Chicken was one of my favorite books as a child and it was such fun sharing this retelling with my children. When Chicken Little gets hit on the head with an acorn she thinks the sky is falling until she and her friends investigate. I really enjoy how this story encourages young readers to investigate and do experiments to figure things out. Once again the writing is witty and cute. The illustrations are fabulous as always. My boys gave this one 5 stars and I fully agree!

Chicken Little Investigates (Science Folktales) is a cute children’s book about discovering new sounds and investigating how/ what makes a certain noise. Chicken and her friend Henny Penny are out and about one day when all of a sudden something falls and lands on chickens head causing s bump. These to go on a adventure to the palace to see the king for a name of this discovery. Along the way they meet other friends who also have things that make a certain noise. Together they continue on the palace to see the King. I read this to my five year old son and he loved it so much we read it several times. I highly recommend this book to find out what happens next especially if you have younger children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews around four to six years old or so. My son and I love this author and have read several of her books. We can’t wait to see what incredible story she brings us next.

Almost everyone knows the story of Chicken Little in one way or another. “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” is probably the most famous part of the story. But, what happens when Chicken Little decides to experiment with things to see if the sky is falling or if something else fell instead?
Chicken Little Investigates is a cute little twist in a classic tale. Follow Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Loosey Goosey, and Turkey Lurkey as they learn how different things fall to the ground and travel to ask the King what it’s called when something falls. Keep an eye out though, because not everyone is there to help them learn.
Thank goodness the friends are paying attention during their experiments and are able to use what they’ve learned to escape Foxy Woxy!
This is a cute, fun story with changes in font based on the sounds of words and other fun pieces of information. It’s a cute way to introduce gravity in a way that also introduces a classic story.

I really enjoy these children’s story with a science twist – I think they are a great way to introduce young children to simple science investigations. I think this one is definitely my favourite – it was a wonderful introduction to gravity! There are so many talking points in this book from things falling, what gravity it to the sounds that things make when they fall. Again this story is beautifully illustrated and is absolutely bound to capture the attention of young children. The story is easy to follow and not too long that children will lose interest.

Chicken Little Investigates is such a cute book! I got this for my 7 year old, but honestly I think it would be great for children younger than her. Chicken Little and Henny Penny are walking along enjoying the weather when something falls on Chicken Little’s head! Ouch! She thinks that the sky is falling so she and Penny investigate. After a few experiments with different items they come up with something, but they don’t know what to call it. They decide to go and ask the King with big feet what he thinks. On the way to the King Chicken Little and Henny Penny run into a few friends. The five of them set off to talk to they king about their discovery, when a fox tricks them saying he knows a short cut. The friends think quick and start dropping things on his head! Splat, Flop, Clatter, Jangle, and plop plop plop goes all the items onto his head! Ouch! Triple ouch! While bumps grow on the foxes’ head the friends all escape! But they still don’t know what to call their discovery! So they meet with the king. The Kind tries out their experiment before deciding what it will be called…. read the book to find out what he decides!!! It really is such a cute book. I think kids would love to try out what the friends did. See what name they think it should be called!! I love everything I have read from this author so far. Her children’s books are cute, but kids also learn while reading them. I would recommend this for kids under age 10.

Cute! This book is a great learning tool for children. It shows how one single action, such as dropping something, can have many different descriptive words. The friends all have fun name, and set off on an adventure to the castle to speak with the king to ask what they should call the phenomenon of something falling. All of the characters, I think, would catch kid’s attention and the way the wording is written give the eyes something different to look at.

We all remember the story of Chicken Little from our childhood. This is a story that follows the same pattern but has a bit of a different take. Chicken Little gets hit in the head by a fallen acorn. Once he investigates what hit him, he shares his news with several of his friends. They all test out the theory with something of thier own idea. Together they head to see the King to find a name for their theory. On they way, they meet up with a fiesty old fox who tricks them into coming to his house to be a bit to heat. Luckily for them, they are ingenious and use their clever brains to outsmart the fox and get to the King’s palace. This is a cute story, with great illustrations to make a good read aloud for small children!

Lois Wickstrom does it again! Imagine your typical “Chicken Little” story with a little investigation thrown in. Instead of running around yelling about the sky falling when an acorn lands on his head, Chicken Little decides to do an experiment.
Same old favorite with lots of fun improvements thrown in to help lead curious young minds. A new family favorite!
