Kindergarten-Grade 1?In this slight romp across a barnyard, the much-maligned wolf is once again the villain. A dandelion-nibbling rabbit family is seemingly the answer to the wolf's hunger until the father rabbit's alarm sends the bunnies running for cover. The mother hen takes them in but the wolf persists. Rabbits and chickens take off, seeking refuge first with a brood of pigs and then with a trio of cows. When the fleeing procession finally crowds into the donkey's flimsy shack, the sides burst in protest, scattering boards and animals every which way. Now, it's a terrified wolf that is on the run?last seen disappearing into the distance. Brown stages the story against sun-splashed watercolor landscapes and gives the creatures expressive faces, creating an appealing visual experience. However, the story's allusions to Chicken Little (the title and the repetitive "the wolf is coming" phrase) don't match up. After all, Chicken Little's fear was imaginary; with a prowling predator in pursuit, these animals have real reason to be scared.?Barbara Elleman, Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI

Ages 2^-5. Great for storytelling, this farmyard cumulative tale combines excitement and slapstick. The wolf is coming, so the rabbits run to hide. First, they ask the hen for help, and they all squeeze in with her and her chicks in the little wooden coop, but the wolf is coming, so the hen and her chicks and the rabbits run to the pig sty and squeeze in there. Then the rabbits, chicks, and pigs all have to fit in with the cows in the barn, until finally, they all have to hold their breath and try to fit into the donkey's shack. Brown's dappled watercolor illustrations of the bucolic countryside express the danger and the farce of the various animals all squashed up together. Every preschooler who has loved the tension in a game of hide-and-seek will recognize the delicious fear, the bated breath, and the uproar. Hazel Rochman
