Henny Penny

Henny Penny
By Paul Galdone
Traditional Literature

This is a book about rime and repetition. Henny Penny wants to go tell the king that the sky is falling and along the way she meets Cockeysville Lucky who asks her if he can go with her to tell the king that the sky is falling. Along the way they meet Ducks Lucky who asks them if he can go with them.  They agree and he goes with them. Along the way they meet Goosey Loosey who asks if he can go with them and they agree.  Along the way they meet Turkey Lurkey who asks the same question and they agree to have him go with them.  Next they meet Foxy Loxy who tells them they are going the wrong direction and takes them to his cave.  They never make it to the kids get and are never seen again. That day the fox and his family had a great feast.

I would use this book in my class because it is rich in repetition and children need a lot of that so they can remember sight words.  This book would be good for Pre-K to 1st grade.I would use this as a read aloud were I would get the students involved in the process of repetition.
