1 Not my personal favorite, but the kids love it!
I'll admit it...I hate reading this book again and again. There are so many animals to characterize that I lose track of which voice belongs to which animal. Well, too bad for me, because my 18 month old and 3 year old can't get enough of Chicken Little and all his buddies in their quest to tell the king "The sky is falling!" The illustrations are good, although nothing extraordinary, and this adaptation is very simplified with a non-threatening ending (there is no "Foxy Loxy" to trick and eat the animals, just a gentle and kind king and a good hearty laugh about Chicken Little's mistake). Older children may prefer the "danger" of Foxy Loxy in other adaptations, but my toddlers are crazy about this one.
2 A delightful classic.
My toddler loves this book! She "reads" along as Chicken Little greets her friends. The repetition is perfect for this age group and the colorful illustrations are wonderful.
