Yes, Ed Emberley, of Drummer Hoff and Go Away, Big Green Monster, and lots more, is *still* making picture-books. ?áYay!
Rebecca, his daughter, must be a poet. ?áThis is written with an odd metrical style that is perfect for robots cobbled from second-hand parts. ?áThe story line feels like it's the introduction to a series - all world-building and abrupt ending, unfortunately. ?á But the pix are delightful, with lots of detail to pore over. ?áAnd the theme is a good one about show more mutually supportive friendships.
So, are robots the new scarecrows? ?áThe aliens among us, the alive but not of flesh, those who have feelings though we'd rather not think about them that way...? show less

A vibrantly illustrated version of the classic fable which leaves out the heavy-handed moral in exchange for lightheartedness.
I liked this version of Chicken Little. In the beginning of the tale, Chicken Little is sitting under a tree when an acorn falls on his head. This leads him to believe that the sky is falling. Along the way to tell the king, he meets various animals who want to help him on his journey. Chicken Little and the gang come across this fox who tells them that they should hide in his cave, which is really his mouth. Luckily for Chicken Little, the fox sneezes them out before he can digest them. The show more illustrations are very vivid. The color practically jumps of the pages. I also liked how sounds like "whack" were written out. This story will teach children that they should think things through and not jump to conclusions or move forward without a plan. Overall, I think children will really enjoy this book. show less
Great use of lines and shapes in the illustrations. occasional rhymes. The book is an easy book to read and understand and I would recommend this book because i believe children will learn that true friendships can be found across different sizes, colours, abilities and disabilities and so they should not limit themselves whilst making friends. "See? says the mouse, Little mice can be big friends"
