The fable of Chicken Little has always been one of my favorites, your version definitely gives the original a run for it's money. The onomatopoeias were my personal favorite. A close second was the approach on how the animals defeated Foxy Woxy. A great story for children to learn the basics of physics and using knowledge to defeat obstacles. A clever and entertaining book, one I will add to my grandchild's book collection. Mary Saunders, Library Assistant, Delta County CO

As much as in the original story, Foxy Woxy, being a cunning animal as foxes usually are, tries to lure the merry investigative bunch inside his den, but what happens after that is a thing of beauty! The reader can't help but feel so exhilarated and happy while following the animals on their investigative quest. This contemporary retelling of a classic fable is accompanied by equally classic and lovely illustrations. The educational, scientific aspect of the story makes this book a fun and interesting read for children and anyone who feels like one. 5 star review by Tanja Jurkovic for Readers' Favorite -- This time the little chicken investigates and comes up with a name for the discovery of something dropping to the ground....

Mary Saunders, Library Assistant, Delta County CO -- Cute, funny and insightful - that's what we think#ChickenLittleInvestigates is. It's a wonderful retelling of the old folktale but with an interesting science angle to it. In case you're looking for some very easy and fun way to explain the concept of gravity or why things fall down , you may give this book a try. -- Under the Guava Tree -- A fun spin on the classic Chicken Little tale, Chicken Little Investigates puts a STEM spin on the story...A cute introduction to physics, with fun sounds like jangles, flops, and plops, this is a cute read-aloud that invites kids to chime in with their own sound effects. -- Mom Read It
