What’s that?
Could it be? A piece of the sky!
Oh my!
Chicken Little and his friends run, run, run to tell the king. Nothing stands in the way except...the sly Foxy Loxy. Surely they have time to stop for lunch with Foxy and his kits. But what happens when Chicken Little and company find themselves on the menu?
What this classic story needs is a new ending and a brave hero. And maybe this time, it’s Chicken Little!
Cleverly retold and exquisitely illustrated by Robert Byrd, Brave Chicken Little transforms a cautionary fable into a tale of triumph.
“Byrd upends both the classic tale’s conventions and its cautionary message; still, his revision works as an underdog-makes-good story, much abetted by his elegantly detailed illustrations.” —Horn Book
"Alliteration, occasional rhyming, and poetic language add richness to the storytelling and strengthen the readaloud potential." —BCCB

“a true standout…bright, witty, informative and cleverly organized as the man himself.” – The New York Times
