Books with title Chicken Little Little Classics

Little Chicken is all ready for bed, when suddenly there’s a knock at the door. It’s Little Fox, freezing in the cold. The other chickens know they aren’t supposed to let anyone in. But Little Chicken feels bad, so she sneaks out to find him a warm place. The two become instant friends, and search together for Little Fox’s parents. All the other animals along the way seem to know something Little Chicken doesn’t—foxes eat chickens. But when the two new friends find who they’re looking for, Little Fox’s parents realize that a good friend is more important than a good meal. Brigitte Sidjanski’s story is full of heart and humor, brought to life by Sarah Emmanuelle Burg’s charming illustrations.

How much work can one little chicken be? When Leora finds a chicken in her front yard, she imagines keeping it as a pet and gathering eggs for breakfast every morning. But her mother has a very different view. Following a Jewish law that says ”finders aren’t keepers,” Mrs. Bendosa is determined that the family should care for the chicken just until its rightful owner returns. Soon, however, one little chicken becomes a flock of chickens, a flock of chickens becomes two goats, two goats become a herd of goats…until—Oh! What a house!Elisa Kleven’s exquisitely detailed folk art brings Elka Weber’s humorous retelling of a traditional tale to life and promises to leave readers pondering the adage, “finders, keepers.”From the Hardcover edition.
