Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Kellogg soups up a standard when Foxy Loxy offers to take the confused Chicken Little to headquarters to report the emergency. All ages.
Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3 Kellogg's revamping of the old, familiar tale is a delight. Foxy Loxy watches in delicious anticipation from his "Poultry" wagon as, one by one, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky and other fowl assemble in response to Chicken Little's wail that the sky is falling. As if to remind children how all this hysteria began, the acorn looms large in the foreground of several pictures. Foxy disguises himself as a policeman, changes his van's sign to "Poul-ice," and helpfully loads the barnyard gang in for a trip to headquarters just as Chicken Little recalls the "wanted for kidnapping poultry" poster she (and children) have already seen. Too late. Foxy slams the door shut and tosses the acorn heavenward, where it brings down a sky patrol helicopter complete with a hippo pilot who pins down the foxliterally. Chicken Little plants the acorn by her coop and spends her sunset years retelling the story to her grandchildren. Like Tony Ross, whose Puss and Boots (Delacorte, 1981; o.p.) and The Three Little Pigs (Pantheon, 1983) offer slapstick humor, Kellogg inserts visual jokes, puns and silly details which may not carry to the farthest reaches of a story hour. However, older children familiar with the traditional version such as Galdone's Henny Penny (Clarion, 1968) will love this one. Susan Hepler, formerly at Ohio State University, Columbus

2.0 out of 5 stars It's not the one your parents read you 30 years ago!, August 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Chicken Little (Paperback)
I expected the same story from when I was a child. It was one of my favorite books. I was disapointed to learn how it has changed. Chicken Little is hit with an acorn instead of an apple. He runs to tell the police, rather than the king. It just seems to be lacking that fairy tale quality about it that I loved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chicken Little by Steven Kellogg, December 12, 2007
This review is from: Chicken Little (Paperback)
Steven Kellogg does not disappoint in this rendition of Chicken Little. As always, wonderful pictures, a surprising array of characters and great subtle trickery. My kindergarten students enjoyed it tremendously.
