(2) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. Gently scrambling elements from "The Country Mouse and the City Mouse" with "The Mice and the Elephant," Dorros introduces young listeners to Henry (Henrietta), a wisecracking city chicken. After a cat sows seeds of discontent, Henry becomes convinced that she should try out life in the country. Her ensuing misadventures provide a fertile field for wordplay. The appropriately bright pastels amusingly depict Henry's misconceptions.
