ReviewsThe simple text with its rhyming words and repeated phrases will appeal to emerging readers. Pair Steven Kellogg's Chicken Little (Morrow, 1987), featuring a city setting, with this prairie version of the folktale for an entertaining story hour., "The repetition invites chiming in from young readers, who will also find plenty to chuckle at in Cole's (Unspoken) bustling watercolor, ink, and colored-pencil illustrations, which convey the animals' overblown fright with comedic bravado. . . a lively take on this familiar tale." --Publishers Weekly "The simple text with its rhyming words and repeated phrases will appeal to emerging readers. Pair Steven Kellogg's Chicken Little (Morrow, 1987), featuring a city setting, with this prairie version of the folktale for an entertaining story hour." --School Library Journal "Hopkins' prairie take on 'Chicken Little' is made storytime perfect by Cole's characteristically hysterical, watercolor-and-colored-pencil cartoons of goggle-eyed critters. It's also a nice twist that Mary and her friends save themselves from the coyote rather than ending up as lunch or requiring outside assistance. . . good fun to share in a lap or with a group." --Kirkus Reviews, Hopkins' prairie take on 'Chicken Little' is made storytime perfect by Cole's characteristically hysterical, watercolor-and-colored-pencil cartoons of goggle-eyed critters.

School Library Journal "A gorgeous picture book...The animals all have 'punny' names and the coyote tries to trick them into his den, but they escape. What Mary is hearing is not a stampede, but you'll have to read the book and see what it is. It will make you smile." ? Journey of a Bookseller blog "The exaggerated faces and movements of the panicky characters stand out comically against the more realistic background paintings. Hopkins, a storyteller from Texas, uses repeated phrases, internal rhymes, and humor effectively, creating a transplanted folktale that reads well aloud." ? Booklist online "This is the kind of book that children will love hearing over and over again and joining in on those fun repetitions." ? Read from A to Z blog, The repetition invites chiming in from young readers, who will also find plenty to chuckle at in Cole's (Unspoken) bustling watercolor, ink, and colored-pencil illustrations, which convey the animals' overblown fright with comedic bravado...a lively take on this familiar tale.

SynopsisWhen Mary McBlicken the prairie chicken hears a rumblin' and a grumblin', she sets off to warn her friends in this prairie-style twist on Chicken Little. Mary McBlicken is sure a stampede's a comin'! She hurries to the ranch, gathering up her friends--a prairie dog, a jack rabbit, and a meadowlark--along the way. Before the fine feathered and furry folks get to their destination, they encounter a coyote who says he knows a shortcut. Should they trust him? Will they find Cowboy Stan and Red Dog Dan in time? And where is that rumbling coming from anyway? Jackie Mims Hopkins brings readers a hilarious, prairie-style rendition of a well-loved tale. Henry Cole's energetic illustrations perfectly complement the hilarity and will have readers laughing out loud., When Mary McBlicken the prairie chicken hears a rumblin' and a grumblin', she sets off to warn her friends in this prairie-style twist on Chicken Little.
