Book Thoughts: Henny Penny (Galdone)

  • a retelling of a folk tale classic
  • repetitive pattern within the story will help the youngest listeners keep up (and be amused)
  • the main characters are eaten!

Type: picture book
Ages: 3-6
Author & Illustrator: Paul Galdone

Not to be confused with the classic “Little Red Hen,” I’ve never been quite sure why this was ever written for children! The majority of the text is fun, but then the animals you’ve thus far connected with get tricked by the fox in the end. This might simply be comical to your kiddos, so the judgment is yours. 😉
