Henny by Elizabeth Rose Stanton -- ESSENTIAL

Stanton, Elizabeth Rose Henny. PICTURE BOOK. Simon & Schuster, 2014. $16.99. Content: G.

Through a fluke, Henny the chicken was born with arms. It's tough to be different, to never quite fit in, but it also has its perks. Unlike her brothers and sisters, Henny can point. She can hail a taxi cab. She can even help out around the farm. All in all, being unique might not be so bad.

Henny is an entertaining, affirming story. The understated illustrations are hilarious and complement the text well.

Pre-K, EL (K-3) -- ESSENTIAL. Reviewer: Caryn
