Chicken Licken
This story of silly birds and a wily fox is a well-known traditional tale. Chicken Licken, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey and Turkey Lurkey race across the pages, anxious to tell the King the sky is falling. The birds frantically run and run, until they meet Foxy Loxy... By studying the pictures, we see that Chicken Licken narrowly escapes the fate of the others, for as he files off the edge of the final endpaper, there is a tiny 'Phew!' Foreman's vibrant glowing colours are a treat in this new version, and the text flows with energy and delight.
