Big Chickens
Helakoski, Leslie / Cole, Henry
FIC .034 HEL
Helakoski gives a new twist to the old story about a henhouse and a furry predator in this funny story. These four
suggestible hens are chicken in more ways than one. When they first spy a wolf, they run off to hide in the woods,
but are soon frightened by a ditch, and then by a peaceful-looking group of cows, and on and on, until they end up
in a cave, where an encounter with actual danger leaves them feeling brave for the first time. Bright pictures
convey the comic events with an exaggerated style just right for the story line. Theres a satisfying amount of
silliness that will leave children giggling at the panic-stricken fowl and the chaos they produce wherever they go.
Predictable patterns in the language and in the narrative structure add appeal as well. As fluffy as the hens tail
feathers, this selection will be an enjoyable read-aloud for kids on a lap or in a group.

Big Chickens Fly the Coop
Helakoski, Leslie / Cole, Henry
FIC .035 HEL
This rollicking picture book concerns four chickens with a hankering to see the farmhouse. Venturing from their
cozy coop, they attempt to find the house but don’t know quite what they’re looking for. They approach the dog
house, then the tractor, then the barn; each attempt leads to disaster and a cacophony of hysteria, ending in a
retreat to the coop. Little by little, they conquer their fears and finally achieve their goal. Much of the fun comes
from Helakoski’s memorable refrain, rhyming words, and rhythmic phrases, some of which trip smoothly off the
tongue, while others seem designed to trip it up. The story’s pacing is first-rate, though, and Cole’s illustrations of
the googly-eyed chickens’ exploits guarantee that children will get the joke every time. Comical-looking even in
repose, the hens are funny in the scenes of panic and pandemonium. A barnyard romp.
