Henny Penny by Galdone was a book I remember as a child. Short and with a shocker ending, if any of you want to really have a laugh at a macabre dark twist kids book, then this is your book, there is another version where everything's storybook fine, if you like that type of thing too. ( )

Convinced the sky is falling, Henny Penny and a band of gullible friends march off to tell the king, only to meet their end at the hands of a wily fox. Tongue twisting rhymes and a surprise ending.

Henny Penny by Paul Galdone
Children's story about how the hen is on her way to notify the king that the sky is falling as the acorn hit her in the head.
She tells others on the way and they join her. Even the fox wants to be a part of it but he has other ideas.
He is sly.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )

What is there not to love about Henny Penny? This is a classic story of Henny Penny and her animal friends. This book has beautiful and bright pictures, is is an easy and fun read and would be best for grades k-2. The best thing about this book is that it takes you for a journey and then has a surprise ending that even caught me off guard. The students will find this book easy to read and will enjoy it over and over again. The title of the book Henny Penny just makes you want to dive right inside and once you are in, you will be glad you opened the cover. This is a must read classic!

I still remember this book being read to me at school as a small child, mostly because of the rhyming animal names. I had to reread it to remember that it is a fable about being gullible, and how we should be leaders and not followers! It is very short, very simple, and there's not much to it. Great illustrations.
