Comparing Versions of Henny Penny/ Chicken Little

Here are some old and new versions of Henny Penny that I decided to chart and critique separately. I compared over ten different versions and variants of the tales altogether, but since some of the picture books follow the plot and narration of the original “Henny Penny” very closely, I picked versions that had unique plot elements for the comparison charts.

Please feel free to read a comparison of the picture books in the Close Looking section.
