Customer Reviews

Love this one!

My two little ones, 6 & 4 don't tire of this one, nor do I ! I really don't know why I like it so much (--I did not know this story as a child), but it has great elements that include humor, rhyming names, danger with resolution using smarts--and that oh-so-satisfying, warm-in-your-tummy ending. Great illustrations too. Henny Penny

The story really takes a new twist

Vivian French's HENNY PENNY receives gorgeous embellishment by Sophie Windham as it tells of a concerned citizen who becomes convinced the sky is falling when an acorn lands on her head. She meets and convinces a variety of characters - but the story really takes a new twist when she encounters Foxy Loxy. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
