But it is quite a romp, so not before bed or you won’t get your little one to sleep!” When Loosey Goosey joins Chicken Little, Henny Penny, and Lucky Ducky on their madcap escapade, the narrator reminds us they still have no plan, but, “honestly, with names like these, is it any wonder?” This is funny stuff! The surprise twist at the end, unique to this retelling, is what makes this a perfect story for a read -aloud. The story is written in a humorous and wry style. The illustrations play an equally important role to the text in this book. The illustrations, done in collage style, have colors that are vivid and bright. I am tempted to say that the illustrations are the stars here, but the retold tale is just as clever. This modern take on Chicken Little is sure to delight and amuse every reader, children and adults alike! Chicken Little is especially adorable in this edition, and as ditzy as ever.
