The ensuing adventure is filled with suspense, surprises, and more than a few big laughs. Children will want to hear the story of Mother Hen and her brave little chicks over and over again.Best-selling author Jez Alborough knows a thing or two about great children's books. In 2000 Jez created Hug - a powerful book of only three words about a baby chimpanzee called Bobo who loses his Mom. Oprah Winfrey raved about it on her show and chose it for her recommended reading for children. Bobo went on to star in two more classics: Tall (which along with Hug won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Book Award) and Yes. The series has sold 1.76 million copies.

The phrase "jumping on the bandwagon" describes the actions of a person who joins in a cause without really considering whether it is the right thing to do. As exemplified in this cheerful retelling of a classic fable for children, this may not always be the wisest choice.

One after another, the animals join Chicken Little, soon forming a frantic pack. Fortunately, Chippy Chipmunk steps in with wise intervention. What follows confirms the importance of critical thinking and the possible dangers of gullibility.
