Chicken Little by Laura Rader

Summary: Chicken Little was sitting under a tree when all of a sudden something falls from the sky and hits her! In fear that the sky is falling Chicken Little rushes to go tell the King. Along the way she runs into Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky, and Goosey Loosey, who all follow her to tell the King the sky is falling. When Chicken Little finally tells the King what had happened, he checks her tail to find an acorn and explains that that is what had fallen onto Chicken Little, not the sky. The book ends with everyone's panic gone and laughter at the silliness of Chicken Little.

Review: This book is geared towards toddlers, who I think would enjoy the silliness of Chicken Little. Since it is a fun read for students I would love to have it in my classroom! Chicken Little is a great lesson on making sure things are what they think they are as well as a lesson on it being okay to tell someone when you think that something is wrong even though they might not be.
