PS
In this irreverent re-visioning, silly sound effects, comedic editorial comments, and riotous illustrations play up the bird-braininess of Chicken Little's ill-informed sky-is-falling crusade. Large, boldly colored birds with mesmerizingly multicolored eyes flap across spacious white pages, running for their lives. There's nothing subtle about this account of birds on the verge, which makes the book perfect for cheep storytime thrills.
