This is a super cute twist on the beloved Chicken Little tale, and one that will touch curious investigators' hearts.

Chicken Little is hit on the head by a falling nut, and what a strange thing that is to have happen! Especially since she notices that other things fall down and hit the ground, too. Deciding she needs to share her discovery with the king, she heads off and runs into each of her friends along the way. While sharing her discovery, each one has a different name for it. And when they meet Foxy Woxy, the discovery gets good use.

In this version, Chicken Little goes a step further than before and realizes that items fall down. This first introduction to gravity is perfect for young listeners. Not only is the tale funny and sweet, but the idea of gravity is kept at just that—the word never being used. Instead, the animals have their own names for it, ones which are sure to draw some giggles. The author does a lovely job at rounding it together in a clever way to escape Foxy Woxy. Yep, even this guarantees snorts and laughs. And the ending...well, that's humorous too.

The illustrations and the text play around each other, making it a read--aloud delight. The illustrations are done with love and are sure to invite young listeners to gaze through the pages on their own. The text is a little heavy for the youngest, but those about to head off to school will have no problem understanding the concept.

Summed up, this is a cute and giggle worthy way to introduce young listeners to an important science theme.

This is another great STEM book that introduces physics in a simple yet fun way.  An acorn falls on Chicken Little’s head and this leads to figuring out what fell by comparing it to other objects.  The sound that falling objects make is different from character to character, so off to the king to have him make a final declaration.  They are adventures for Chicken Little and the whole gang including Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey, and Turkey Lurkey.  There is deception awaiting them from Foxy Woxy, but the other animals use their new information in defeating him.

The illustrations in this book depict the characters and scenes nicely.  I also like how the words on each page are not just text on a page, the words feel interactive.  I feel like this book will spur the imagination of any child and perhaps have them start thinking more about STEM areas without even realizing it.

We give this book 5 paws up.
