Hensel and Gretel: Ninja Chicks

40 pp. | Putnam | May, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-17626-5 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Santat. After a fox chicken-naps their parents, two chick siblings go after him, and their wits and martial-arts mojo save the day. As in this team's previous successes with ninja-fied retellings (The Three Ninja Pigs; Ninja Red Riding Hood), the rhymes are silly-sassy ("The fox said, 'Surrender? / No way, chicken tender!'"), and Santat's snazzy stylized art shows a cast ready for their close-ups.
