Prairie Chicken Little

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. In this spin on the classic tale, featherbrained prairie chicken Mary McBlicken hears "a rumbling and a grumbling and a tumbling"; she takes this to mean that "a stampede's a comin'!" and sets out to tell Cowboy Stan. It's an energetic retelling made all the more swift (and funny) by the illustrations of pop-eyed prairie animals in a Mary-induced panic.
