About This Book
In this humorous and clever twist on the classic fable, Chicken Little initially causes a panic by proclaiming the sky is falling after a 'bonk' to the head. However, the story quickly shifts to her determined efforts to use facts and reason to reassure her feathered friends that everything is, in fact, fine. It's a delightful story about owning up to mistakes, critical thinking, and calming anxieties, perfect for children aged 4-11. The book gently explores themes of fear, responsibility, and the spread of misinformation in a lighthearted, engaging way.
"Chicken Little is NOT afraid of anything. Well, okay, maybe a mysterious BONK to the head can produce panic. But only momentarily. It's not as though she meant to send the barnyard into a tailspin, thinking that the sky was falling. How ridiculous! But can she calm her feathered friends with facts and reason?"--Provided by publisher.
