She hurries to the ranch, gathering up her friends—a prairie dog, a jack rabbit, and a meadowlark—along the way. Before the fine feathered and furry folks get to their destination, they encounter a coyote who says he knows a shortcut. Should they trust him? Will they find Cowboy Stan and Red Dog Dan in time? And where is that rumbling coming from anyway?Jackie Mims Hopkins brings readers a hilarious, prairie-style rendition of a well-loved tale. Henry Cole’s energetic illustrations perfectly complement the hilarity and will have readers laughing out loud.

"The repetition invites chiming in from young readers, who will also find plenty to chuckle at in Cole's (Unspoken) bustling watercolor, ink, and colored-pencil illustrations, which convey the animals' overblown fright with comedic bravado. . . a lively take on this familiar tale."—Publishers Weekly"The simple text with its rhyming words and repeated phrases will appeal to emerging readers. Pair Steven Kellogg's Chicken Little (Morrow, 1987), featuring a city setting, with this prairie version of the folktale for an entertaining story hour."—School Library Journal"Hopkins' prairie take on 'Chicken Little' is made storytime perfect by Cole's characteristically hysterical, watercolor-and-colored-pencil cartoons of goggle-eyed critters. It's also a nice twist that Mary and her friends save themselves from the coyote rather than ending up as lunch or requiring outside assistance. . . good fun to share in a lap or with a group."—Kirkus Reviews |
