The Silly Chicken -- El pollo bobo

Paperback (Hoopoe Books Sept. 1, 2015)
The Silly Chicken is a delightful and humorous tale about a chicken who learns to speak as we do – with surprising and unexpected consequences. The events that follow intrigue young children and, and at the same time, alert them in a very amusing way to the dangers of being too quick to believe everything you hear. Illustrator Jeff Jackson creates a lively and amusing world, rich in color and expression, in which anything can happen. This tale is one of the many hundreds of Sufi developmental stories collected by Idries Shah from oral and written sources in Central Asia and the Middle East. For more than a thousand years this story has entertained young people and helped to foster in them the ability to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves. Éste es un encantador cuento de un pollo que aprende a hablar como nosotros. Esta historia va a intrigar a los niños pequeños y, al mismo tiempo, va a alertarlos, de forma graciosa, sobre los peligros de ser demasiado crédulos. Este es el primer libro para niños del ilustrador/animador Jeff Jackson. Expresa su inusual habilidad para crear un mundo vívido y entretenido, rico en color, en el que cualquier cosa puede ocurrir.
