Summary: You Lucky Ducky! You Found The Right Version of Hen Pen!
Review: Click on this title by accident? Serendipity! Keep reading.

If you only buy one version of Henny-Penny, this is the one to have. If you have other versions of Henny-Penny, get this one and use the others for beach fires or scrap paper--THIS ONE IS THE DIVA! Fabulous photography is mentioned in other reviews and they speak truth. The photo art is superb, witty, charming..., but what I love is the language. Get out the voices and get ready to play! This book rocks! It begs to be read aloud, a perfect picture book for even very old children like me.

Summary: A Little Weird for Traditionalists Like Me
Review: This should be put in the category of newfangled spin-offs, not in the category of classic stories. What made my son love Henny Penny was the classic repetition of the same words, each time adding a new phrase. While this edition uses words in a fun way, the repetition is buried in other clever language so that one to three year olds just won't pick it up. My toddler and preschooler were bored, it went over their heads, while a teenage friend was fascinated. This is a great book for children who are already familiar with the classic version.
