(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sophie Windham. French's version of the traditional story provides a happy ending for the poultry. An uncharacteristically quick-witted Henny recognizes their peril when the fox sets a single place for dinner, and she engineers an escape. Windham's colored-pencil illustrations provide child-pleasing details, such as the empty cans and banana peels cluttering the fox's den. Hot cornbread all around guarantees a satisfying conclusion.
