Chicken Licken
and the Falling Sky
Adapted for early Grade Two and above,
with an introduction and comprehension questions.
A bump on the head from above,
A mad dash to see the king,
And a dangerous meeting on the way …
An acorn falls from a tree. It hits Chicken Licken on the head. ‘O no!’ she thinks. ‘The sky is falling!’ She runs to tell the king.
On the way she meets her friends, and they come with her too. But there is danger on the way. What will happen when Chicken Licken and her friends meet Foxy Loxy, who wants to eat them? Read on to find out!
Lots of people have told the story of Chicken Licken. One of them was Joseph Jacobs, who told the story in his book English Fairy Tales. But he used a different name for the story.
Note to parents and teachers:
No animals were harmed during the retelling of this story! The traditional version sees Chicken Licken and her friends meeting a rather gruesome end; but it is the policy of Books for Learning to avoid such scenarios—especially where the victims are innocent and well-intentioned, as in this story. In this retelling, a new character intervenes to sound a warning.
