Henny Penny

by Jean Little

Henny Penny believes the sky is falling after being hit by an acorn and sets off to warn the King. Along the way, she gathers her friends Turkey Lurkey, Goosey Loosey, and Chicken Lickin'. A sly fox, Foxey Loxey, tricks them into following him to his cave, intending to eat them later. Trapped, the clever Henny Penny digs a hole for their escape, and they all return home safely. Laughing at the fox's failed plan, they learn the importance of caution and teamwork. A whimsical tale of adventure, humor, and quick thinking, perfect for young readers who love classic farmyard stories! A word-for-word audio read-along is included with this book. See the inside cover for instructions.
